Roma have decided to make a move for Santos striker Marcos Leonardo, who was recently a key target of Lazio.
The Biancocelesti were seriously interested in making a move for the talented 20-year-old last month and submitted a concrete offer to the Brazilian club, willing to pay around €12 million, a little below the €15 million asking price.
Lazio ultimately decided to move away and switched focus to Valentin Castellanos, paying New York City FC around €20 million total for the 24-year-old.
As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma are now working on a deal for Marcos Leonardo and have received the green light from the player.
The Giallorossi are in the market for a new centre forward, only having Andrea Belotti available following the serious injury suffered by Tammy Abraham in the closing stages of last season.
Lazio are now focusing their efforts on a deal for Torino talent Samuele Ricci, who has €30m price tag.
We let good talents go… luka Romero would bite us in the ass new this… why won’t lotito sell the club to those with the money… why is he still holding on and making us look like cheap shit
