Worth around €20 million, sporting director Igli Tare would be open to selling the player should the right offer arrive, but at the moment the player is a key part of Lazio’s defense and the club are keen to keep hold of him.
Luiz Felipe had a tough season, undergoing ankle surgery in January that forced him to miss the following three months.
