Lazio sign Eliseu
Wednesday 24 June, 2009

Lazio have signed Malaga and Portugal winger Eliseu, who will undergo a medical at Formello, the club's training ground, tomorrow, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

A formal announcement making the transfer official will be made on Friday.

Eliseu had a buyout clause in his contract with Malaga worth £510,000, which Lazio appear to have exercised.

Reports suggest the Biancocelesti beat off competition from Siena and Real Betis for Eliseu.

Real Betis, who were relegated from La Liga last season, are said to have offered £100,000 more than Lazio.

At one point the deal didn't look like it would go through, as the two parties couldn't agree personal terms.

Eliseu apparently demanded a five-year contract worth £850,000 a season while Lazio only offered him £680,000.

They ultimately decided to meet in the middle and Eliseu will earn something in the region of £730,000 a year.
