Striker Nantes Emiliano Sala fell into the sphere of interest of Lazio.

Sports Director of Lazio Ilya Tare is confident that Sala will strengthen the "eagles", says Corriere dello Sport.

The approximate cost of the transfer is 12 million euros.

In summer, almost certainly Rome will leave the leased from Valencia Luis Nani, who rarely leaves the field. Sala should be a substitute for the Portuguese.

Sala is an Argentinian by nationality, but he also has an Italian passport, so he will not be considered a legionnaire in Serie A. His whole career Emiliano spent in France.

This season, the 27-year-old striker scored 14 goals and made 3 assistants in 31 games for Nantes in the championship and the French Cup.
