West Ham on alert as £11.4m midfielder’s contract talks break down over £1m deal

Sedan Lulic wants £1m a season to stay at Lazio

WEST HAM are keenly monitoring Senad Lulic’s contract talks with Lazio, according to reports in Italy.

 

Lulic, 29, is locked in negotiations with the Rome club over a new deal.

Lazio are willing to offer him a two-year contract but will not meet the player’s £1million-a-year wage demands.

 

And Gazzetta dello Sport claim the Hammers are primed to swoop in and capture the ace this January.

Bosnia international Lulic joined Lazio in 2011 and has already played 11 games for club and country this season.

He helped his country qualify for the playoff round for Euro 2016 and is a mainstay in the Lazio midfield.

 

However, it is claimed West Ham will offer the player a swift exit if contract talks do not go his way.

Lazio are determined to hold on to their star and value him at £11.4m, which Gazzetta claim has subsequently attracted interest from Bundesliga clubs.
