Sarri Encourages Mertens To Work With Him Again And Lower His Salary Demands

Lazio continues to consider Mertens: Sarri urges Belgian to persuade him to lower wage demands.

The Dries Mertens name continues to be popular among the upper levels of Biancoceleste management. The Belgian, who is due to expire at Napoli, remains in the lead next season as Immobile's Back up.

Il Messaggero on the newsstands today gave some updates: Sarri has been encouraging the boy to convince him to lower his salary demands (€4m per season for two years). If Mertens gives the right signal, Tare is ready to shoot.

Belgian striker Dries Mertens, 35, is a favorite of Maurizio Sarri and recalls an excellent collaboration in the Campania capital a few years ago. The Italian coach, known for managing to turn the initial winger into a false nine, now wants to work with him again at Lazio.
