Lazio close to Sokratis signing

Half of Europe wants Sokratis Papastathopoulos. A defender with experience and without a team, teams in the Serie A and La Liga have shown interest in the defender.

The best positioned, La Gazzetta dello Sport' and 'Sky Sport' explain, is Lazio. After 'Estadio Deportivo' said that he rejected them in favour of Betis, negotiations have resumed.

In fact, the aforementioned sources assure that Lazio are closing in on the Greek centre-back, who left Arsenal in the last few days and is free to sign for whoever he wants.

Sokratis, to sign for Lazio, has asked for a contract until the end of the 2021-22 season, and to earn up to two million euros per season.
