What started as an idea by Il Messaggero last week has quickly developed into a full story in Italy, and it appears that Lazio are very seriously considering making a move for Sunderland’s Fabio Borini.
Corriere dello Sport explain his versatility, capable of playing down the wing as well as up front, is of great interest to the Serie A side, as is the fact that he is Italian.
Capable of being a valuable asset in the 3-5-2 Simone Inzaghi likes to play, his price is also very attractive for a Lazio side who will play Europa League football next season.
With Sunderland making it very aware they have a lack of financial strength to compete in the market, letting Borini go would make sense, clearing his wages in the process, with Il Messaggero quoting €7m as a potential price.
He is on Lazio’s list, and with Borini very much looking for a way out, this could be a match made in heaven.
