Milan vs Lazio was a fundamental match for the Biancocelesti’s season. At the San Siro, Inzaghi’s team was playing for an important three points to put towards their goal of qualifying for the Champions League. In addition, this accomplishment would have been a huge factor in helping to decide transfer market strategies for the club. However, they unfortunately came away with nothing, as the Rossoneri won 1-0 thanks to a Franck Kessie penalty… Besides this eventful match and the talk that has ensued, one of the names on Lazio’s radar is Wesley Moraes of Club Brugge. On Claudio Lotito and Igli Tare’s list for quite some time, there is a lot of competition for the young Brazilian’s signature; in recent days, the Belgian press has added Premier League side Arsenal to the name to the list of suitors. There is talk of an offer from the North London club of approximately €16m, however, this is not said to be enough for Club Brugge, who are looking for at least €20m for the youngster. In a few months, more concrete offers will start to come out, and those who want Wesley will have to fight off competition to secure him for next season…
