Lazio and AC Milan have struck a deal over the transfer of highly rated forward Balde Keita, his agent has said.
AC Milan have reached an agreement with Lazio over a deal for Balde Keita, according to the forward's agent.
The 22-year-old enjoyed a superb season under head coach Simone Inzaghi in 2016-17 and his performances attracted the interest of Serie A champions Juventus.
Speculation has grown that Milan have stolen a march in the pursuit of the player, however, with reports on Wednesday claiming that a double deal for Keita and midfielder Lucas Biglia had been reached between the clubs.
