Diakhite rules out leaving Lazio

The 22-year-old has been a key player for Lazio this season and several big clubs are reported to be interested in signing him in the January transfer window.

Ulisse Savini told TuttoMercatoWeb: “Diakhite is happy at the moment. It’s clear that he is disappointed about the moment Lazio are going through at the moment.

“Luckily he has stayed calm on the pitch and isn’t feeling any pressure. His objective is that of becoming a point of reference for this team.”

Savini replied, when asked if his client would leave Lazio: “I don’t think there will be a market for him January.

“Last March, Lazio refused an important offer for him. This year, playing as an immovable regular, I really don’t believe Lotito can let him go,” Savini concluded.
