Fabio Borini joined Sunderland from Liverpool in August in a £8million deal and he has had a disappointing campaign, scoring just three goals.
But, the Serie A side Lazio are hoping to sign Borini, after a failed attempt last summer.
Maybe this time the 25-year-old will move to Lazio as he is not keen on playing in the Championship and Sunderland are currently in 18th position in the Premier League table.
