Lazio are furious with Queens Park Rangers for what they believe is the Championship club's attempts to unsettle midfielder Ravel Morrison.

And the Italian side are determined to ensure Morrison fulfils the pre-contract deal he signed earlier this year.

The former Manchester United star signed a pre-contract agreement with the Serie A club earlier this year and has been training in Italy ahead of his debut next season.

In April Ravel Morrison posted a photo of himself posing in his new Lazio bathrobe onto his Instagram account

Morrison scored six goals in 15 Championship games for QPR in a successful loan from West Ham in 2014

Lazio are concerned that the Loftus Road side have held discussions with Morrison behind their back, contributing in the turning of the ex-West Ham player's head, knowing that he had already signed a pre-contract.

Lazio are determined to make their shock move for Morrison a success, like Paul Pobga has at Juventus following his move from Manchester United, and will pull out all the stops to ensure he starts the season in Rome.

Morrison officially becomes a Lazio player on July 1 - nevertheless the pre-contract deal he signed in January is still a legally binding agreement meaning it will be easier said than done for the former England Under 21 to leave without Lazio consent.
