Stefano Mauri

Should Lazio fail to qualify for Europe, it will be necessary for them to sell many of their big names.

Promising winger Stefano Mauri would also be likely to go, and according to his agent, Tiziano Gonzaga, Napoli are very interested.

Speaking on Radio Incontro, he said, “My client would like to stay in Rome, he has bought a house and is very happy here.

“But no footballer in the world likes to sit on the bench and Stefano is no different.”

Gonzaga went on to explain who might be interested.

“Mauri is an important player, so I think lots of clubs would like to have him.

“[Napoli’s sporting director, Pierpaolo] Marino has certainly come forward, and [former Italy coach Roberto] Donandoni [now coach of Napoli] certainly liked him because Stefano played for the national side while he was in charge.”

The 29-year-old is in need of a new contract but contacts from the Biancocelesti seem to have been sparse, as his agent explained.

“I met with the president a while back and he told me he had a few other things to put in order, and then he would be in touch. I hope he calls back before the end of the season.”
