Berardi has already reportedly agreed personal terms with Lazio, willing to sign a four-year contract worth around €3.5 million net per season, but no deal has been agreed yet with Sassuolo.

As reported by Il Messaggero (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), Lazio president Claudio Lotito met with his Sassuolo counterpart Giovanni Carnevali on Friday after the Lega Serie A assembly, discussing the terms of a deal for Berardi.

The Neroverdi are happy to let the 28-year-old leave, but not for less than €20 million. As such, the Biancocelesti are hoping to include Matteo Cancellieri into the deal to lower the overall costs.

The two clubs are keen to reach an agreement and work is being carried out to resolve the remaining issues, with the hope being to add Berardi to the squad before the pre-season training camp in Auronzo di Cadore.
