Elano was a revelation last season in the English Premier League, but has been rather quiet this campaign and indeed often finds himself on the bench under Manchester City boss Mark Hughes.

Recent reports have suggested that Lazio are interested in bringing the Brazilian to the Stadio Olimpico and, according to Shakhtar Donetsk trainer Carlo Nicolini, Elano is interested in plying his trade in Serie A.

"I spoke with him four days ago and he asked me about Lazio," Nicolini told Teleradiostereo. "As I did with Matuzalem, I recommended he consider this possibility."

Elano could be looking for a new challenge and Nicolini is certain that Lazio is a likely destination for the former Shakhtar Donetsk player: "In my opinion, if he were to leave Manchester, he would go to Rome."

The 27-year-old is currently out of action with a groin injury that will keep him off the pitch until mid to late December.
