Juventus could increase their offer for Balde Keita as Lazio continue to demand €30m.
The Bianconeri have seemingly refused to sign Patrik Schick this summer, but are still pursuing Keita who only has a year left on his existing Lazio contract.
Beppe Marotta was vocal about Juve’s interest in the Senegalese winger, going so far as to confirm that a bid had already been made.
Despite Lazio chairman Claudio Lotito insisting that the initial bid was too small, Gazzetta dello Sport report that Juve will now return to the Biancocelesti with an improved offer of €20m which should be accepted.
Juve are ‘accelerating’ for a number of players as the start of the new season looms on the horizon.
