Spurs and Liverpool target Keita Balde wants out of Lazio as agent reveals striker feels ‘exasperated’ by Italian club
Senegal international hitman is fed up with 'behaviour from the club which he is no longer willing to put up with'
TOTTENHAM and Liverpool are on red alert after Keita Balde's agent revealed the Senegal frontman is "exasperated" by life at Lazio.
Balde, whose contract is due to expire, has also been linked with Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan this summer.
And after being left out of Lazio’s squad for the Super Cup win against Juventus last week, Roberto Calenda says the player now wishes to leave the club.
Calenda told Gazzetta dello Sport that Balde, 22, has been left angered by that decision.
He insisted that Lazio could lose the player for “free”, amid heightening reports the player is high on the wanted list at both Spurs and the Reds.
Calenda said: “He’s exasperated by behaviour from the club which he is no longer willing to put up with.
“There have even been offensive comments written on the walls at Formello, clearly fuelling the misleading remarks with which Lazio are managing the whole issue.
“While president [Claudio] Lotito talks about selling him, he values Keita like a top player – only when he offers him a new contract, he rates him like a normal player.
