Report: Keita travels for Inter

By Football Italia staff

There are reports Keita Balde Diao has left the Lazio training camp ahead of an imminent transfer to Inter.

The Senegal international missed today’s 9-1 friendly win against a local amateur side at the Auronzo di Cadore camp.

According to Radio Sei, this was because he was agreeing terms with Inter for a transfer.

Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato.it go with the official explanation that he's meeting with his girlfriend, as tomorrow is a planned day off for Lazio anyway, but the Inter rumours have been ramping up.

The 22-year-old is only under contract until June 2018 and repeatedly refused to sign an extension.

Linked with Juventus, Milan, Monaco and Chelsea among others, it seems as if Inter have stepped up over the last 24 hours with intensive negotiations.

Keita is reportedly on his way to Milan, where he’ll meet with agent Roberto Calenda and Nerazzurri directors.

It’s believed the offer is over €20m.
