"Lichtsteiner will leave and Konko will arrive," the official told La Lazio Siamo Noi on Monday afternoon.

"The deal has already been done, it was agreed days ago. The two Presidents shook hands and have a verbal agreement.

"However, before anything can be finalised, Lazio will have to sell their player first."

Konko, 27, who only rejoined Genoa in January from Sevilla, is expected to cost the capital giants around €6m.

Lichtsteiner has a €12m buy-out clause inserted into his contract, but the Old Lady are hoping to net him for a little less.
