It is no secret that Lazio and veteran defender Francesco Acerbi have fallen through, forcing the player to consider a move at the earliest before the summer transfer market comes to a close, and Monza have emerged as serious suitors. Inter have been linked with a transfer deal, thanks to his former Biancocelesti coach Simone Inzaghi, who reportedly wants to reunite with him after having failed to get Gleison Bremer from Torino.
The player’s agent Federico Pastorello was seen recently in Milan at Inter’s headquarters at the Vialle della Liberazione. However, he shrugged off talks of a transfer deal being struck. Nevertheless, the Nerazzurri aren’t the only club in his pursuit.

Gianluca Di Marzio reports of the interest from Serie A newcomers Monza in Acerbi, despite having shortlisted Arsenal rebel Pablo Mari too for the role. They are presently waiting for an ‘ok’ from the Brazilian’s end at the moment after submitting an initial bid, but they do not want to entirely depend on him. Whereas, the 34-year-old is prepared to shift clubs immediately.

Lazio are prepared to sell the center-back, amid burgeoning interest from a host of clubs, including Napoli, Milan and Inter. The experienced stopper will leave the Biancocelesti with 10 goals from 173 caps across four seasons.
Our Take on Acerbi Potentially Moving to Monza
Monza are ready to prove their mettle by challenging for a top-half finish in their first-ever to-flight season, and Acerbi’s presence is a surefire way to bolster their defense. His addition will add quality to the minnow’s backline.
