Lazio tempted to sell Ratkov as Dynamo Moscow ‘raise’ bid to €18 million | OneFootball

Lazio could cash in on Ratkov after Dynamo Moscow increased their offer. According to La Lazio Siamo Noi, the bid now stands at €18 million.

The 22-year-old joined in January as Taty Castellanos’ replacement after his move to West Ham United, but saw little game time under Maurizio Sarri and is yet to score. A bright pre-season has stirred outside interest.

His agent denied links to Dynamo Moscow on Friday. The latest approach would give Lazio a profit on the €13 million they paid only seven months ago.

Whether Ratkov would accept a switch remains unclear, with suggestions he feels he has unfinished business at the club.

Gennaro Gattuso wants another centre-forward and could sanction a sale of the former RB Salzburg player if it helps fund his preferred signing. He is said to view AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez as a dream addition, while Benfica’s Franjo Ivanovic and Sassuolo’s Andrea Pinamonti are seen as more attainable.
