Lazio are pushing Keita Balde to agree new terms.
The exciting attacking talent is being watched by England's biggest clubs, including Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City.
TMW says Lazio are well aware of the foreign interest and want to open talks with Balde about a new deal - which would include hiking up his buyout clause.
The former Barcelona junior is well known to City powerbrokers Txiki Begiristain and Ferran Soriano.
