Hellas Verona Decline Offers From Napoli & AC Milan for Lazio Linked Casale

Hellas Verona have turned down offers from both AC Milan and Napoli for Lazio linked defender Nicolò Casale.

As reported by Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla last night, the 23-year-old Italian defender has shined this season for the Gialloblu, attracting the attention of a number of top Serie A clubs.

Both AC Milan and Napoli submitted offers for Casale, around €7-8 million each, but Hellas Verona clearly value him more and so they’ve declined the offers.

Lazio and coach Maurizio Sarri are incredibly keen on the 23-year-old Italian defender but they cannot make any moves for the moment, being blocked by the now-infamous liquidity index.

Things could change in the coming weeks, but the Biancocelesti need to make some sales and fast if they want to strengthen Sarri’s squad.

The 23-year-old Casale has made 21 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 1357 minutes. In that time, he has provided one assist.
