Alessio Romagnoli is reportedly tired of waiting for Lazio, but although he has an offer from Fulham, he now hopes to negotiate a new deal at Milan.
The centre-back was purchased from Roma in the summer of 2015 for €25m and went on to become their captain, even though he fell down the pecking order under coach Stefano Pioli.
He had allowed his contract to run down after failing to agree on a new salary package, and it is due to expire on June 30.
A dream move to Lazio was on the cards, the club he has always supported, but that doesn’t seem to be materialising.
It’s because the Biancocelesti need to sell Francesco Acerbi first and that is no closer to happening either.
According to both Sky Sport Italia and Sportitalia, Romagnoli is fielding a proposal from Premier League side Fulham.
However, he is increasingly eager to stay put and renegotiate a new contract so he can remain at Milan.
That would also solve the Rossoneri’s issues, having lost out on Sven Botman because the Lille defender is heading to Newcastle United instead.
