Keita Balde’s agent Roberto Calenda has claimed that Lazio have an agreement with AC Milan for his client, who is on Everton's radar.
Keita, whose present contract with Lazio will expire in 2018, has been heavily linked with leaving the Serie A outfit this summer, with a host of big clubs from Italy and abroad showing interest in him.
It is Everton who have been most recently linked with Keita, with suggestions the Toffees are working towards making an offer for the Lazio man.
But Calenda explained that Lazio already have an agreement in place with AC Milan regarding a move for his client to the San Siro.
“Finally, after a few months Lazio called and we went to meet”, he told Sky Italia.

“We were informed that they have an agreement with Milan and we understood that he [Keita] was on the market.
“It is difficult with Lazio to decide a price [for Keita].
“I spoke to Claudio Lotito [Lazio’s president] about many things, but there was no talk about a renewal.”
However, Keita’s move to AC Milan is not a done deal as the player is yet to agree on personal terms with the Rossoneri, it has been claimed.
It is also believed that the Senegalese, who scored 16 times and set up six goals in 34 appearances in all competitions in the recently concluded season, is keen to play for Juventus, with whom he has also been linked.
