Lazio are in need for strikers and have identified Alessandro Matri as their guy to replace the injured Klose.

Lazio beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 yesterday in the Champions League play-off round but lost Miroslav Klose to a ‘serious’ muscular injury and with Filip Djordjevic also out injured, coach Stefano Pioli wants the club to sign a striker.

According to Sky Italia, Lazio are interested in signing Milan striker Alessandro Matri who is obviously primed for a bench role this season. Matri joined Milan from Juventus in 2013 for €11-12 million (paid in installments) but never really convinced anyone and has been sent on loan three times since.

However, the same Sky reports that at the moment coach Sinisa Mihajlovic doesn’t want to let go of Matri and has vetoed the move. It’d be logical to assume this will change if Ibrahimovic comes.

Oh my word i wouldnt keep matri even if bacca and adriano got injured… Rather play mexes up front.

boko

You made my day mate. Few words: Sell that rotten crap!!! FORZA MILAN !

Hasowayne

Oh come on Mihaj.. Will you… I understand your need for an extra striker but we have options in front PLEASE LET MATRI GO… I just can’t believe this, we get an offer for Matri and Mihaj wants him to stay on the bench. Hope Berlusconi disagrees with Mihaj this time. An offer like this may never surface again.

Nero jnr

Y not offer matri + cash for balde keita

Blanka

He’s doing that due to Niang’s injury. Forza Milan.

Levano

we have Bacca, Adriano, Niang for 2nd half of the season, Cerci, Menez. 5 strikers are enough

abe

I love this “never really convinced anyone ” it was perfect lol

Kimochi

Anyone know when Christian maldini and daniel maldini will be promote to first team?

Gman

They are not good enough, you can’t just promote players because of their father is who he is.

rosso-138

Sell him now before he turns in Zaccardo and grows roots!!!

milanisti bali

TO KEEP HIM FOR NOW..thats the point..
but transfer window still open.. galliani know what the best for Milan

Udochukwu

Where is Niang when you need him?! If he hadn’t gotten injured, I doubt we’d be hearing this. SMH

Jibola

Miha will obviously not let him play and he knows this but i expect he would push for an exit as the transfer windows draws to a close because he wouldn’t want to suffer a whole season. Miha is only being cautious of numbers but not quality as letting him go now will leave his attacking options reduced without a replacement. I’m sure IF Zlatan comes he would let him go else he would be on d bench.

Bynz

This is the moment Berlusconi will push to get Zlatan as i said before the only reason Matri is still in the squad is because Niang is injured. or they could just put Mexes as a back up striker since he seems better attacking than defending lol

Simo

I think we will get Pjaca or Zlatan (or another one, but surely will be an arrival). Then, it’s pointless to keep Matri. With Bacca, Luiz Adriano, Niang, Menez and Cerci + one of them in front we’ll be well covered in a season where is no UCL or EL.

I can’t believe that we want to keep Alessandro, maybe the management want to fix a better prize. Even keeping Nocerino or Alex would make more sense.

cuore rosso

so stupid just let him leave

dejan10

It’s a bluff to raise Matri’s price. Has to be. Either that or Miha’s been drinking the same Kool Aid as Galliani.

Donadoni

At this point I’d take a set of goal nets and a Kit-Kat multi pack, and thank our lucky stars anyone is stupid enough to take him off our hands.

JaRossoneri

Agreed….but I wouldn’t even press too hard for the nets and the kit kats, it may be asking too much.

Omoba

Please pay the guy off and let him go we still have pazzi all this player bring shame too milan please let them go
