One of Liverpool's possible options if they continue to be frustrated by Roma over Mohamed Salah appears to be on his way to AC Milan.

The Reds are monitoring the situation of Lazio winger Balde Keita but his agent has revealed his move may only be north within Italy.

Keita’s agent Roberto Calenda told Sky Sports Italia on Wednesday that Lazia had reached a deal with Milan for the 22-year-old - but his client was still considering his next move.

Calenda said: “They communicated to us that they have reached an agreement with Milan, so we realised that he is on the market. Now we will assess our options.

“It’s difficult to know what the price is when it comes to Lazio. We talked about many things with (Lazio owner and president) Claudio Lotito, but there has never been a concrete offer of a renewal.”

The suggestion that the Senegal international has not been offered a new deal with the Rome-based side was swiftly rejected by Lazio who claim the winger, who scored 16 goals and provided three assists in Serie A last year, has been offered new deals in each of the last two seasons.

Lazio sporting director Igli Tare said: “No more than two weeks ago there was yet another meeting with him (Calenda). His client was offered an official contract both last year and during the season that has just finished.

“I want to be very clear that the player was formally offered a contract renewal at the same figures as Lazio’s top players.”

Keita, a former member of Barcelona's La Masia academy, has had a notoriously difficult relationship with his club and his contract expires next summer.

Salah remains Liverpool's number one target in an attacking wide positions but Roma's asking price of well above £35m has seen Liverpool consider options elsewhere.

The club this week began talks with Sporting Lisbon's Gelson Martins while Douglas Costa at Bayern Munich is also admired at Anfield.
