Lazio are not expected to take up their option to sign Nani outright from Valencia, barring a spectacular turnaround in form.

The Portuguese winger arrived to much fanfare in the summer, on a straight loan with an €8m option to buy.

However, the 31-year-old has managed just two Serie A starts all season, contributing three goals and two assists in all competitions.

As a result, Gazzetta dello Sport reports, the Aquile have decided not to take up their option on Nani, barring a dramatic improvement in form over the final part of the season.

While that seems unlikely, Nani does have to perform to make Portugal’s World Cup squad, so he’ll have plenty of motivation for the final run-in.
