The 22-year-old's agent said he was not offered a contract renewal by the Biancocelesti, something sporting director Igli Tare staunchly denies
Lazio have denied that Balde Keita was not offered a contract extension, but did not address his agent's claim that a transfer to AC Milan has been agreed.
Keita's representative Roberto Calenda said on Thursday that he had been informed a deal had been reached with the Rossoneri, adding there was never "a concrete offer of a renewal".
Lazio sporting director Igli Tare insists that is not the case, stating the 22-year-old was offered an extension that would have put him among the club's best-paid players.
