Lazio tempted by Ayala
Thursday 15 January, 2009

Lazio are being linked with an attempt to bring former Napoli and Milan defender Roberto Ayala to the Eternal City.

The 35-year-old Argentine has been playing in the Spanish Second Division with Real Zaragoza and just received a recall to the national team from Diego Maradona.

Ayala, who has made 115 appearances for Argentina, recently asked Zaragoza for a transfer. His contract still has a year to run, but the Spanish club are resigned to letting him go.

As Emilson Cribari edges closer to a move away from the Biancocelesti, Coach Delio Rossi wants Ayala as an alternative to Sebastiano Siviglia, Mobido Diakite and David Rozehnal.

Lazio are currently seventh in Serie A just three points away from the Champions League places. They host Juventus at the weekend.
