La Lazio Siamo Noi are also reporting a similar loan fee, but believes that the overall cost of the transfer cannot be estimated at this stage, as it will depend on bonuses hinging on the achievement of sporting objectives.

With the arrival of the Inter Milan youth product, the Biancocelesti could part ways with one of their forwards, particularly Petar Ratkov, whom Gennaro Gattuso considers unfit for his tactical system.
