Lazio’s pages in the Italian sport media are having repeat mentions of Manchester City recently. As the Serie A side look to close on signing David Silva, local reports are bringing many updates on this situation every day.
But it seems there’s one more player from Pep Guardiola’s side who could move to the Rome side this summer, and that’s Nicolas Otamendi.
Newspaper Il Messaggero has a story today which is mostly focused on David Silva, and how close the midfielder is to joining Lazio.
They add that Otamendi has been offered to the Italian side as well, and could be another player to make the move from Manchester City this summer.
However, it’s said the possibility of a deal for the defender has ‘disappeared’, with no clear reason why. Il Messaggero mentions possible competition from Napoli as well.
Otamendi has been heavily linked with an exit from Manchester City this summer, with the Spanish media naming Valencia as the main suitors for his signing. His contract with the Premier League side runs until 2022.
