United face battle from Inter for Serie A star

 

Manchester United will have to fend off interest from Inter for the signature of Lucas Biglia, according to the Lazio midfielder’s agent.


Biglia, 29, has been frequently linked with a move to Old Trafford over the past 12 months and his sensational return from injury has reportedly courted interest from a number of clubs around the continent.


However, Inter would now appear the frontrunners for the Argentinian’s services after Biglia’s agent, Enzo Montepaone, confirmed their interest in the midfielder.


“Biglia is a top player,” Montepaeone told Tuttomercatoweb. “It’s normal that the biggest teams in Europe have made enquiries about him. There’s a big market for him, both in Italy and abroad.


"There are so many possibilities, Inter is one of them.

“Could he leave in January? We can’t say yet. Biglia is happy at Lazio, but we must think about what’s best for his career."


There is no surprise to see a positive correlation between Lazio’s up-turn in form and Biglia’s return to the starting fold following injury. In fact, only three players have gained a higher WhoScored rating in Serie A than the Lazio midfield enforcer (7.68).
