The agent of Boca Juniors midfielder Sebastian Battaglia has challenged Lazio to put their money where their mouth is.

"If Lazio really wants the player, they need to make an offer to Boca Juniors," said Martin Guastadisegno. "The price is about £5 million.

"The lad is excited by the idea of playing in Italy and has already spoken with (Lucas) Castroman.

"But if Lazio really wants him, they have to make a bid to the Argentine club."
