Nesta set for Lazio return? Wednesday 25 October, 2006
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alessandro Nesta is yet to extend his deal with Milan and could return to Lazio, according to the latest reports in Italy.
The defender is currently contracted to the Via Turati outfit until 2008, but has not yet started any discussions with the club to extend the deal.
This has fuelled speculation that he would favour a return to the capital city, where he played with the Biancocelesti from 1993 to 2002.
Rumours suggest Lazio President Claudio Lotito would be ready to make an immediate offer to bring the 2006 FIFA World Player nominee back home as early as January, although the defender is currently paid over £2.8m per season.
Milan Vice-President Adriano Galliani was eager to deny that there are no problems with Nesta, who allegedly would like his newborn daughter Sofia to grow up in Rome.
“Nesta still has two years before his contract with us comes to an end, there is no rush to discuss an extension,” said the Rossoneri official.
Nesta could therefore decide to honour his agreement with the San Siro outfit and then return to Lazio on a free transfer deal.
