Lazio are reportedly interested in James Rodriguez but concerned about his wage demands

James Rodriguez, the unattached Colombian forward, is reportedly a target for Lazio.

According to today’s edition of Il Messaggero, Lazio are exploring the possibility of making a high-profile move for James Rodriguez.

The Colombian forward impressed significantly during the Copa America and is now keen to return to Europe.

“The main issue is his salary expectations,” a source close to the negotiations revealed to Il Messaggero.

Despite being a free agent, Rodriguez’s wage demands have made clubs cautious, but Lazio seem determined to bring in a player of his calibre.

His potential arrival would mark a statement of intent for the Roman club, aiming for a strong position in Serie A and European competitions.

“The club believes Rodriguez’s experience and skill set can greatly benefit the team,” another insider commented in the same report.

Discussions are ongoing, with both parties looking to find a mutually beneficial agreement.

Lazio fans eagerly await further developments, hoping to see the Copa America standout don their colours soon.
