Transfer news :Juventus confirm bid for Hammers target Keita Balde

Lazio’s Keita Balde Diao has been linked with a move away from the Italian side for the majority of the transfer window now but it seems the 22-year-old could stay in Italy, playing for Juventus or Inter Milan.

Gianlucadimarzio.com reports that Juventus have now made an official offer and rivals Inter Milan are considering whether to make another bid for the forward who is wanted by Premier League outfit West Ham.

Despite the Italian champions have offered only €20 million, compared to West Ham’s accepted bid of €32 million, it’s thought he doesn’t want to join the Hammers.
He can play anywhere across the frontline and he grabbed 16 goals to show for his fine form as he looks for a more exciting move away.

It was once a possibly the Senegalese international would move to the Premier League with West Ham due to his friendships with Pedro Obiang and Cheikhou Kouyate in particular. It would have been a huge coup but it seems Keita will instead opt for a move to Juventus or Inter as he looks to progress his career in the Serie A. - Read Sport
