Lazio are interested in signing Marseille’s 23 year old Brazilian defender Lucas Mendes this summer.

The defender, who can also fill in at left back, is believed to be available at the right price and Lazio are keen to add some youth to an aging defence after the recent departure of Giuseppe Biava.

La Provence reports that Lazio are willing to offer the French giants 5 million for his services, and are confident that a deal can be agreed upon in the near future.

The defender is eligible for a Portuguese passport due to his ancestors, meaning that any worries over Mendes’ non-EU status could be for not soon.

Mendes scored two goals in 22 league appearances for the French giants last season.
