Keita Balde Diao has demanded a Lazio transfer after refusing to attend training, as Real Madrid, Inter and Juventus stay alert.

The 21-year-old striker is under contract until June 2018, but did not turn up to pre-season training today.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Keita will join his teammates at the retreat in a couple of days, but he has requested a transfer.

There is no shortage of clubs interested in the extremely quick Senegal international.

In recent weeks he had already been heavily linked with Juventus and Real Madrid.

Now Inter seem to have emerged as favourites, having failed to secure his Lazio teammate Antonio Candreva.

Keita, born and raised in Spain as part of the Barcelona youth academy, can play on the left, right or as an unusual centre-forward.

He never disguised his frustration at being left on the bench at Lazio, though still managed five goals and eight assists in 39 competitive appearances last season.
