Lazio target Andre-Pierre Gignac has reportedly moved a step closer to joining the club after an advancement in talks with the striker.
The Marseille man’s contract is set to run out at the end of June and will not be renewed, leading many clubs to try and beckon the Ligue 1 star to sign on a free transfer, including Italian sides Fiorentina, Napoli and Roma.
However it seems that in a sudden turn of events the French International is now destined for a move to the Aquile, according to Lalaziosiamonoi.it, who report that the striker’s agent Jean-Christophe Cano will meet with Lazio president Cluadio Lotito in the coming week.
Reports further suggest that the meeting will see Gignac’s agent demand a wage close to €3.6 million per season, though the Biancocelesti will prefer to offer €10 million over the duration of four seasons in order to appease their target’s demands while keeping costs to a minimum.
Gignac has scored 21 goals this season for Les Olympiens, finishing second in the Ligue 1 scoring charts.
