Lazio Want Edgar Barreto - Reggina Director

The Biancocelesti are highly interested in signing the Paraguayan player from the already relegated side.

Down and out of Serie A, and into Serie B as Reggina become the first Serie A side to be relegated this season

Reggina Sporting director Gabriele Martino has admitted that Lazio and several other clubs are interested in midfielder Edgar Barreto as the transfer window approaches.

However, the Amaranto are not ready to sell Barreto on a co-ownership deal or on a loan transfer, as they will only accept a definite deal.

"It's not something new that Lazio like Barreto," explained the Reggina director to Lalaziosiamonoi.it. "I think that right now Lazio must solve the problems related to who will be the coach and then think about the future.

"I would say that the amount is around €7- or €8 million. This is an evaluation based also on the contacts we had with other clubs.

"The player is an important one and with us he has been doing well for the past two years."

The 24-year-old player has been at Reggina since 2007 following his move from NEC, and in two seasons he has collected 58 appearances and scored four goals.
