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.
