Lazio to offer Graziano Pelle return to Italy?

Southampton striker Graziano Pelle has reportedly attracted interest from Italian side Lazio.

As it stands, Pelle has just 12 months remaining on his contract at St Mary's and with the Saints currently without a manager, that could result in clubs making a move for a forward who has scored 23 Premier League goals during the last two seasons.

Earlier this month, it was reported that two English teams were interested in signing the 30-year-old and according to Il Tempo, Lazio are also keeping tabs on the forward who is currently representing Italy at Euro 2016.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito is said to be looking for a replacement for Miroslav Klose, and it is claimed that the Rome outfit may be prepared to offer a fee in the region of €11m (£9m).

Pelle has not played in Serie A since the start of the 2012-13 season.
