Milan ready Keita offer, winger recently stormed out of Lazio Christmas dinner
Milan Coach Vincenzo Montella is reported to want another centre midfielder and a winger in the January transfer window, and Keita, who has been granted a new lease of life by the Eagles’ new Coach, Simone Inzaghi, fits the bill.
Keita is really not getting on well with Lazio, having even walked out of the club’s recent Christmas dinner as soon as president Lotito was ready to deliver a speech.
Then again, it’s hard to fault the talented Spanish-Senegalese man, who will play in January’s African Cup of Nations: Lazio won’t offer him more than €1.5 million a season, something he hopes to raise significantly.
Remember, this is a few months removed from being called out in public by the Eagles, some rather questionable behaviour at best.
The 21-year-old intends to invoke Article 17 in his contract, allowing him to force a departure a year before his deal expires, aka in summer 2018. This only works only with foreign clubs.
With the club’s sale not going through, however, Milan haven’t got the funds to spend on new players, and it’s no secret that Carlos Bacca could be shipped off if a decent offer arrives for his services.
