Lazio have highlighted VfB Stuttgart’s Marc-Oliver Kempf on their radar as they look to strengthen their defense this summer.
According to a report from German media outlet Kicker earlier today, the 26-year-old German defender’s contract expires with Stuttgart next summer and talks between the player and club regarding a new contract have been fractured for some time now, with it now likely that he’ll be sold in the summer.
