Lazio defender Stefan Radu has told the Italian media he would be happy if Liverpool’s Lucas Leiva joined the club. Leiva has been linked with a move to the Serie A side in recent days, hence Radu being questioned on the possibility.
Yesterday we covered reports from Italy that Lazio were interested in signing Leiva this summer as their search for a midfielder continues. It was claimed Lazio are in talks with Liverpool with regards to taking the Brazilian on loan for the season, with a right of redemption.
However, Leiva has just one year left on his contract with the Premier League side, so such a deal wouldn’t make sense given Lazio would be able to sign the player on a free next summer.
The Liverpool player has also been linked with a move to Turkey in recent weeks, and it’s thought that if he can find a deal that’s right for him, the Anfield club won’t stand in the way of a deal.
