Agent of Lazio's Balde dismisses Man City interest

Manchester City do not have Keita Balde Diao in their sights according to the player's agent.

Reports suggested that the 20-year old Lazio forward had emerged as a potential summer target for the reigning Premier League champions but his representative Ulisse Savini has denied those claims.

"I don't think City are interested in him, as I know the club and their director of sport very well," he told lalaziosiamonoi.it.

"I haven't received any offer, but regardless of whether it's true or not, anyone who wants the lad must make a formal proposal to Lazio and not via social networks.

"Balde and I are focused on the rest of the campaign and getting Lazio into the Champions League. Anything else will be discussed with Lazio at the end of the season."
