Lazio increase asking price for Chelsea, Everton and Manchester United target Keita Balde Diao

Lazio have increased the asking price of Chelsea, Everton and Manchester United target Keita Balde Diao to £27m.

The Italian club are resigned to losing the forward this summer after failing to persuade him to extend his contract beyond June 2018.

Initially, it was reported a few weeks ago that Lazio would let the Senegal international go for £22m following strong interest from the Premier League trio.

But now, according to Leggo, Diao's asking price has suddenly gone up to nearer £30m.

Lazio have reportedly increased the 22-year-old's valuation following an approach from Italian champions Juventus.
