Gaizka Mendieta could be sent on loan to another club next season as Lazio are struggling to attract high enough offers for the midfielder.
The Spaniard arrived in Italy last summer in a £29m deal from Valencia.
However, his debut season in Serie A has been pretty forgetful and the club were expected to sell him at the end of the campaign.
However, despite interest from a number of Italian and Spanish sides, Lazio have yet to have a bid tabled that is anywhere near the fee they paid out for the international.
Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are taking an interest but initial reports suggest that Atletico are only willing to make a £15m offer.
Now Lazio are hoping to loan out the star for one season in a bid that he re-finds his form, thus increasing his market value.
Early contenders for the Spaniard are surprisingly Chievo Verona. They are said to be willing to offer midfielder Simone Perrotta for the loan of the versatile midfielder.
Not bad if we could get him on loan, what do u guys think?
