Nesta looking likely to stay put, so is Shevchenko
Massimo Moratti continues to offer €25 million and Emre to Lazio for Nesta, but Cragnotti continues to refuse. At this point it isn't only an hypothesis that the Italian defender could remain at SS Lazio because his president is asking for €30 million and Cristiano Zanetti. Moratti is ready to stop negotiations even if Cuper needs a defender.
