Lazio president confirms West Ham’s €32m Keita bid

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has confirmed they’ve received a €32 million bid for West Ham from Keita Balde.

As per Gianluca Di Marzio, Lazio have had offers from Juventus, West Ham, Napoli and Milan as the player angles for a move away from the club this summer.

We received three official offers, all documented. Milan would have given 35 million, West Ham 32, Napoli 30. Keita and his agent said none of the three interested them, that the destination they wanted was Juventus.

Keita has been linked with a move to the London Stadium but reportedly has his heart set on a move to the Old Lady this summer.

The attacker has just one year remaining on his current deal at the Serie A club so Lazio risk losing him for nothing next summer if they’re unable to offload him during this transfer window.

The player has been offered a new deal that would have seen him become the club’s highest earner, but a renewal now seems unlikely.

Juventus have already failed with a €15 million bid with Lazio refusing to sell the player on the cheap.
