Lazio Ready To Make Julio Cruz Drive – Report
The Romans are coming to Milan as Lazio plan to prise the Inter striker away from San Siro...
Inter outcast Julio Cruz could be on his way to Lazio at the end of the season as president of the Roman club Claudio Lotito is demanding more fire power.
The Argentine striker has endured a miserable season at the San Siro as he has not really been a part of Jose Mourinho's plans. In addition, the Nerazzurri have not moved to offer 34-year-old Cruz an extension to his current deal, which expires in June.
Il Corriere Dello Sport claims the Biancocelesti are making early enquiries for the hitman. Although Cruz has not played much for Inter this term, he still has the goal scoring prowess of a top striker.
Reports suggest Cruz will be struck off by Mourinho at the end of the season as the Portuguese coach wants to trim his squad.
Although indications from the Rome-based publication show an interest in the striker, Claudio Lotito may not like Cruz's salary. The hitman is currently earning around €3 million per season in Milan. Such a figure may need to be trimmed down if he is to make the switch to Formello.
The striker's agent, Jorge Cysterpiller, has tried to play down the speculation.
"I have not been in touch with any clubs,” the agent told Il Corriere Dello Sport. “I will be in Italy in May and we will take a decision then. Julio is an Inter player and he will only be thinking about them until the end of his deal.”
