Lazio are in constant talks to close the deal for Mattia Zaccagni but need to increase their wage offer by €500 thousand.
As reported by Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio earlier this afternoon, the Biancocelesti have already reached an agreement with Hellas Verona for the 26-year-old Italian midfielder, with the deal set to cost €7 million plus €2 million in add-ons.
The only issue now is that the Biancocelesti still need to reach an agreement with the player regarding his wages.
