Nikola Kalinic could leave Hellas Verona next month and his agent has offered him to Lazio.

As reported by Italian journalist Nicolo Schira on Twitter earlier today, the 33-year-old Croatian’s contract expires with the Gialloblu at the end of this season and so the Veneto club could sell him next month in order to avoid losing him on a free transfer.

His agent Fali Ramadani, who also represents coach Maurizio Sarri, has offered him to Lazio, who are looking to sign a new backup striker as they work to replace Vedat Muriqi, who seems destined to leave the club next month.

The 33-year-old Kalinic, who joined Hellas Verona in October 2020 from Atletico Madrid, has made 10 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 389 minutes. In that time, he has scored three goals and provided one assist.

The Croatian forward has missed the last six league matches due to calf problems and he’s expected to be fit again after the Christmas break.
