Kolarov will stay, says Lotito
Thursday 14 May, 2009

Lazio President Claudio Lotito insists he will not sell Aleksandr Kolarov, who he believes is the Biancocelesti's Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 23-year-old full-back, who can also play on the wing, has been excellent this season, scoring two fine goals in Serie A.

Juventus have registered an interest in the former OFK Belgrade youngster, who captained the Serbia Under-21 side.

The precocious Serb caught the Bianconeri's attention by scoring a screamer against them in the Coppa Italia Semi-Final.

Claudio Ranieri wants to add depth to his back line especially in light of injuries to Cristian Molinaro and Paolo De Ceglie.

“It's as if I wanted to buy Cristiano Ronaldo,” Lotito told Radio Radio, referring to Juventus' desire to sign Kolarov.

A crucial part of Lazio's Coppa Italia winning side, Kolarov has made 23 Serie A appearances for the Biancocelesti this season.
