His agent confirmed Lazio agreed terms with Milan, but the 22-year-old has also now turned down Everton despite a €27m offer.
Il Messaggero and A Bola, among others, are confident Keita told Everton he has no intention of joining them.
The versatile wide striker only wants Juventus, even if it means being frozen out for a year in order to get there as a free agent.
Juve have so far offered only €20m for Keita and Lazio want closer to €30m.
