Lazio ultimately decided to move away and switched focus to Valentin Castellanos, paying New York City FC around €20 million total for the 24-year-old.

As reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, Roma are now working on a deal for Marcos Leonardo and have received the green light from the player.

The Giallorossi are in the market for a new centre forward, only having Andrea Belotti available following the serious injury suffered by Tammy Abraham in the closing stages of last season.

Lazio are now focusing their efforts on a deal for Torino talent Samuele Ricci, who has €30m price tag.
