ROME (Reuters) - AC Milan have held talks with Lazio over Italy defender Alessandro Nesta just a day after the Rome-based club announced he would not be leaving.

"Lazio president Sergio Cragnotti met a club official this morning in Sardinia and Milan confirmed its interest in Nesta," a statement on AC Milan's website said.

Milan added that they were "more than willing to close the deal" although the two clubs were still far apart in their valuation of the player.

Nesta, the highly-rated centre back who was plagued by a foot injury at the World Cup, started his career at Lazio.

Lazio were not immediately available to comment, but on Thursday the Italian news agency ANSA quoted Cragnotti saying: "We have no intention of getting rid of him."

Like other Serie A teams, Lazio have fallen victim to the financial crisis engulfing football and there has been transfer speculation about several of their players, including Nesta and Argentine internationals Hernan Crespo and Claudio Lopez.

they have Sheva, Inzaghi, Rui costa, Seedorf, John dahl tomasson, Maldini, and Rivaldo</strong><hr></blockquote>

Inzaghi, Shevchenko, Tomasson, Rui Costa and Rivaldo can't exactly all play together. At least one if not two would have to sit on the bench.

Anyway, as long as Anchelotti coaches them they can't become THAT good.

The deal is off:

Cragnotti: "Galliani telephoned me earlier to confirm that Milan's offer would be €26 million. However, Alessandro Nesta is worth far more than this, and so we have decided to keep him,"

Milan statement: "Vice president Adriano Galliani, who was in charge of the deal, tabled a bid of €26 million, to be paid over the course of three years. This offer was rejected by Lazio, and by mutual agreement with Sergio Cragnotti the transfer has now been called off."
 
someone on this site said the Crespo-to-United deal was off if Nesta left. Now he is staying, the Crespo-wishers could have their way if this will make Lazio any closer to wanting to cash in on Crespo.

How can it be off when it never was on? ;)

according to some of the 'in-the-know' posters here we had already agreed a fee and were in 'advanced discussions' with Crespo's crew. ;)

Very few local players from the top three league go to foreign clubs these days, period.

i dont think the crespo deal is as far off as it sounds. i'm sure he's top of SAFs wish list and lazio are desperate now to get this debt off their backs. name one better (realistic) striker - top scorer in serie a, mates with seba, and never a better time to try to nab him, which is what SAF was trying to do. expect this to go yey or nay before 31st.
