Question marks have been placed on this summers football transfer window and the impact of the COVID-19 lockdown. But Serie A side Lazio insists that they will not be seeling on the cheap.
Lazio has been somewhat of a surprise package this season in Serie A.
Much of their success has been down to the likes of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic running the show in midfield.
The club’s sporting director Igli Tare insists that the Rome based side does not need to sell. But if they do decide to let a player go he told Sky Sport Italia it will on their terms.
He said: “We certainly don’t need to sell right now.”

“I think a lot will change on the transfer market because the pandemic is a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence that transformed everything, so we have to be creative.”
“But above all very clear on our planning for the present and future.”
“I think that prices won’t drop for first-rate players.”
“Obviously for the medium and low-end players, there will be a downward trend.”
“On Milinkovic-Savic, the boy’s relationship with the city and Lazio will never die because there is a very strong bond that has grown over the years.”
“On the other hand, considering the situation, his wishes, everything we’ve talked about, every situation will be evaluated at the right time without any pressure, but above all for the good of both parties.”
“If there is a possibility that satisfies the club and the player, it will be taken into consideration. If there is not, he is happy and we are very happy for him to stay.”
There are a lot of clubs from Europe’s elite interested in him.
