Gabriel Paletta’s agent confirms Lazio “were the closest to signing him” but his client believes he can win a place at Milan.
The Italian international appeared certain to leave the Rossoneri this summer, but a move to the Aquile collapsed and he remained at San Siro.
“The Biancocelesti presented an important offer, but they didn’t fully meet our demands,” Martin Guastadisegno explained to Tuttomercatoweb.

“I respect [sporting director Igli] Tare who conducted himself really well but we couldn’t come to a conclusion.
“Among all the Italian teams who contacted me, the Biancocelesti were closest to signing him.
“[Milan Coach Vincenzo] Montella is happy that he’s staying, because he can play in all the roles in a three-man defence and both central positions in a back-four.
“Gabriel stayed because he’s sure he can stake his claim for the Rossoneri and I believe in him.”
