The agent of Lazio winger Antonio Candreva says Inter Milan are keen on signing the Italian this summer, but claims the recent takeover of the Nerazzurri could complicate negotiations.

Lazio have put Candreva on the market, but according to the player's agent Luca Marchetti, they have raised the price for Inter, who were recently taken over by the Chinese Suning Group and are therefore in a much healthier state financially.

"Lazio have got to lower their demands for him or else they are going to look for different players instead," Marchetti said, reports fcinter1908.it.

"Inter need a player like him and he has to be Italian too, given the new rules on how squads are made up, and also because a lot has been made of Suning's distance from the local world and this would be a way of proving they have a bond with Italy.

"Certainly Candreva is an Inter target, but not for the €25 million Lazio are asking. The player's advisors are trying to lower that price, but Lazio's president does not want to hear about it. The midfielder's already stated his desire to leave.

"The negotiations are therefore on ice, also because the player is currently involved in the European Championship with Italy."

Candreva, 29, scored ten goals in 30 outings for Lazio in Serie A last season. He is contracted to the Biancocelesti until 2019, although they already said at the end of the season that they expect to sell several key players this summer, including Candreva.
