Lazio chase Argentine pair
Thursday 22 May, 2008

Lazio have their eyes on Valencia starlet Ever Banega, while they are close to announcing the capture of goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo.

After a disappointing season, which has seen them failing both in Serie A and the Champions League, the Biancocelesti are now looking to strengthen their squad.

Former Boca talent Banega could represent a fantastic addition to Delio Rossi's team and the young Argentine would be willing to move to Italy.

Banega joined Valencia for £14m last January, but struggled to adapt to life at Mestalla.

The cash-strapped Spanish giants are now looking to offload him and Lazio fans would welcome his arrival, even if only on loan.

Lazio have already agreed fees with River Plate for Carrizo, but the goalkeeper has had to solve problems with his Italian passport.

President Claudio Lotito has now paid all of the £5.5m transfer fee, rather than the three instalments previously agreed, and Carrizo can be considered a Lazio player.
