Gabriel Tamas chases Lazio move
Monday 27th June 2011, 12:52PM BST.
The agent of Albion defender Gabriel Tamas claims his client is closing on a move to Italian club Lazio.
The 27-year-old has also been linked with Lazio’s Serie A rivals Cesena and Novara.
Tamas would, however, favour a switch to Stadio Olimpico and “has been in talks with Lazio for over a month.”
There are still some issues which need to be resolved, but Tamas’ representative is confident a deal will be struck to take the Romania international to Rome.
Agent Ivan Reggiani said: “We are in negotiations and Lazio like the lad very much.
“I would like to point out that we have never had contact with Cesena or Novara. The only Italian club he’ll accept, apart from Milan, Inter and Juventus, is Lazio.
“He is fascinated by the chance to play alongside his fellow countryman, Stefan Radu. The Biancocelesti remain our priority and we’ve been in talks with them for over a month.
“We are at an advanced stage and Tamas is very likely to wear the Lazio shirt next season.”
