Serie A side Lazio are said to be nearing a move to sign Union Berlin star and former Atalanta and Inter wing-back Robin Gosens.

The German has spent a season in Germany after his exit from Inter and La Gazzetta dello Sport state that the move to Lazio is now ‘very close’. The wing-back has attracted attention from not just Lazio but from Bologna as well but the Roman giants have dived into the deal with more conviction and determination.

Talks are now at the final stages and contact with Gosen’s entourage are now progressing very well indeed. A brief agreement has been reached and Gosens would like to earn about €3 million per season, which is what he earns at Union. Talks with the German club will be held soon but they have informed Gosens that they will grant his wish about returning to Lazio and the negotiations will be fairly easy.

Lazio would have to pay between €10 million and €12 million for the Germany international but an initial loan.
