Lazio have agreed personal terms with Cagliari goalkeeper Federico Marchetti, the Corriere dello Sport claims.
The capital club are in need of a new goalkeeper after contract talks with Fernando Muslera broke down.
The Uruguayan will now be sold this summer rather than being allowed to leave on a Bosman for nothing in 2012.
Marchetti was almost instantly linked as a replacement and the player's agent has seemingly finalised terms with Lazio chief Claudio Lotito.
Lazio have agreed personal terms with Cagliari goalkeeper Federico Marchetti, the Corriere dello Sport claims.
The capital club are in need of a new goalkeeper after contract talks with Fernando Muslera broke down.
The Uruguayan will now be sold this summer rather than being allowed to leave on a Bosman for nothing in 2012.
Marchetti was almost instantly linked as a replacement and the player's agent has seemingly finalised terms with Lazio chief Claudio Lotito.
Lazio will sign Marchetti for €5.2m, the release fee inserted into the Rossoblu player's contract. They hope to pay that off over a period of three years.
Marchetti hasn't played a competitive game of football since the 2010 World Cup after a falling out with Cagliari owner Massimo Cellino.
He was linked with a move to Sampdoria last summer, but the deal collapsed and Marchetti was subsequently frozen out of the squad for a time.
Lazio won't complete the move for Marchetti until Muslera finds a new club. He has been paired with Galatasaray recently.
