Inter are showing interest in Lazio starlet Keita Balde Diao as they bid to continue improving their squad this summer.
The Nerazzurri have just tied up the capture of midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia from Monaco and are now pushing to also bring in another midfielder in the shape of Giannelli Imbula from Marseille.
Now, according to Italian outlet Lalaziosiamonoi.it, the Nerazzurri are taking a close look at Keita.
A highly rated youngster, Inter are claimed to be thinking about offering Lazio president Claudio Lotito around €12m to part with the former Barcelona starlet.
Keita made waves when he swapped Barcelona for Lazio in 2011, feeling his chances of first team football would be better served by linking up with the Serie A club.

Just 20 years old, Keita is able to operate as a winger or a traditional forward.
He made a total of 29 appearances for Lazio last season, scoring four goals and providing four assists, but saw the majority of his action from the substitutes' bench.
