There are reports in Italy that Bayern Munich defender Jerome Boateng is in advanced negotiations with Lazio.
The 32-year-old is a free agent after his contract with the German champions was allowed to run down.
He had also been linked with Roma after the arrival of new coach Jose Mourinho.
However, Tuttomercatoweb maintain the talks are with their city rivals Lazio instead and already progressing well.
Lazio are still without a tactician after Simone Inzaghi left in order to take over at Inter.
