Lazio SD Reveals Summer Bid From United

Saturday, Jan. 9

"We have not received any offer from Manchester United this month, but we refused an offer from them on August 27 worth €50 million," Lazio sporting director Igli Tare told Sport Mediaset (h/t Goal's Stefan Coerts).

Expanding on his answer, Tare gave a reason why the Rome-based club turned down Premier League money: "We rejected United's offer because we think he will be worth much more once he really explodes."

Tare also stated some offers from the summer even exceeded as much as €100 million.

Anderson Figures Outweigh Player's Performances

The numbers quoted by Tare are tall for an attacker who has struggled to assert himself at times this season. The 22-year-old Brazilian has found the net a mere five times in Serie A action, according to WhoScored.com.

FourFourTwo's Alasdair Mackenzie believes signing Anderson would be a mistake by United. He chided the player for a "tendency to disappear in games."

At the prices Lazio are discussing, Anderson's lukewarm form is likely going to deter many other possible suitors.
