The Biancocelesti have identified the Argentine as the ideal replacement for the outgoing Ledesma. Midfielder Cristian Ledesma has demanded to leave Lazio this summer and the Eternal City club have laid eyes on Porto central midfielder Mario Bolatti, according to reports in the Corriere dello Sport.The 24-year-old spent the last six months on loan at Huracan and played a crucial role, along with new Palermo signing Javier Pastore, as the Argentine side narrowly missed out on the Clausura title.
The towering playmaker, renowned for his aerial ability and tough tackling, also netted five goals in 19 appearances for Los Quemeros.
Ledesma handed in a transfer request last month, along with Goran Pandev and Lorenzo De Silvestri, but Lazio President Claudio Lotito is expecting a bid in excess of €15million to release the Argentine playmaker.
Meanwhile, Lazio are also monitoring 21-year-old Boca Juniors defender Juan Forlin, who had a spell at Real Madrid in 2007, but the Aquile first need to part with Brazilian Emilson Cribari, who has been deemed surplus to requirements at the Olimpico.
