Lazio president Claudio Lotito has played down talk of a move for Napoli striker German Denis.

Denis has been linked with Lazio and Udinese.

But Lotito says: "I'm not aware that we are negotiating for this player or anyone who belongs to Napoli.

"Such an hypothesis is not one which Lazio are chasing, neither myself or Ighli Tare have started any negotiations with Napoli."
