Felipe Anderson renewed with Lazio due to ‘interesting’ project

The agent of Lazio’s Felipe Anderson insisted that the Brazilian remains committed to the capital club and wants to be part of the long-term project in Rome.

The 21-year-old recently renewed his contract until 2020 despite reported interest from the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United.

“He [Felipe Anderson] took up the Lazio cause when he arrived in Italy last year,” said agent Stefano Castagna to GazzettaTv. 

“The Biancocelesti made a big and important offer for him, even though they had to wait for a while for him to recover from an injury that kept him out for some time.”

“He’s a guy with the fundamental physical and technical characteristics needed for today’s football.

“He’s improved his defensive play and he’s still growing as a player.

“We renewed the contract with the capital side because the project here is very interesting.”
