Juventus director Beppe Marotta confirms that the Bianconeri have made an offer for Lazio’s Balde Keita.

The young winger has been the subject of sustained attention from Juve since the start of the summer but there were reports that Lazio President Claudio Lotito was unhappy with the Bianconeri making an approach directly to the player’s agent.

Reports have continued to suggest that Juve agreed terms with the 22-year-old and speaking at the draw for the Serie A fixtures this evening, Marotta confirmed Juve have made an official offer for him.

“Keita? We have made our proposal to Lazio, now President Lotito will evaluate it and see what will happen” Marotta told Premium Sport.

Sky Sport Italia follow on from the story, suggesting that there were further developments tonight between Lotito and Marotta and there could be more news in the coming hours.
