Lazio star Keita Balde Diao keen to remain in Serie A despite Chelsea and Manchester United interest

Lazio star Keita Balde Diao will remain in Serie A and will not consider joining Chelsea or Manchester United, according to Corriere dello Sport.

The 22-year-old has risen to prominence this season, with a string of fine displays and has attracted the interest of several top clubs around Europe.

However, these latest reports suggest Balde is willing to stay put at Lazio or consider the advances of Italian champions Juventus.

Both Chelsea and Manchester United have been linked with summer moves for the promising midfielder but may have to reconsider their options given his desire to stay in Italy.
