Mauri keen to stay at Rome
The agent of Lazio midfielder, Stefano Mauri, has revealed that his client will remain at the Stadio Olimpico Rome this summer.
Mauri has been linked with a move away from Biancazzurri for the last few months and reports suggested that he is on his way to Fiorentina. However, according to the player’s agent, he is an integral part of the club’s plans and
they have no desire to sell him in the summer.
Talking to the reporters the agent said, “There are no doubts about it, Mauri will remain with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775. The fact that he has begun pre-season training with the side today suggests that Lazio have no desire to sell him. President
Claudio Lotito has said as much in the past.”
The Italian international joined the Biancocelesti in 2006 and since then, he has established himself as one of the best midfielder’s in the country. Mauri has scored 21 goals in 158 appearances for the Rome based club and helped
them to win the 2008/09 Coppa Italia.
Lazio manager, Edy Reja, is keen to hang on to his prized stars and has made it clear that he will not be sold in the summer. Lazio have already added several new players to the squad and are looking to finish in the top four next
