Chelsea £80,000-a-week star looks like to remain at Stamford Bridge after Lazio cooled their interest

Lazio are about to end their interest in Davide Zappacosta due to Chelsea’s financial demands.

The 26-year-old left-back has barely featured under Maurizio Sarri this season, being used for a combined 18 minutes from the bench in the Premier League.

Davide Zappacosta is understood to be keen on a move away from the English giants this month, and Lazio had been one of the sides looking to acquire his services.

Italian publication La Lazio Siamo Noi claims that the Biancocelesti have now abandoned their interest, however, as there is a disagreement between the sides on the player’s valuation.

The blues are understood to be seeking £15.5 million for Davide Zappacosta, who arrived in West London from Torino 17 months ago when Antonio Conte was in charge,

but even Maurizio Sarri’s predecessor did not use the defender frequently, and former Torino man was only warming the bench.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are ready to offload another defender Baba Rahman to Ligue 1 side Stade Reims as the youngster will join the French side on loan until the summer and depended on his displays it will be decided if the full-back will return to Stamford Bridge.
