Lazio are firmly in pole position to sign experienced Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva this summer.
The Rome giants are on the lookout for a replacement for star playmaker Lucas Biglia, who is expected to join AC Milan after a bid in the region of £15million was accepted.
And with Biglia expected to depart within the coming days, Lazio have lined up 30-year-old Lucas as the ideal replacement.
According to reports in Italy, the Stadio Olimpico giants are in pole position to complete a move for the Brazilian and have made signing him a priority this summer.
