Lazio will cough up €200,000 to sign Real Mallorca superkid Luka Romero.

Romero has agreed a five-year contract after rejecting new terms offered by Mallorca.

Marca says Mallorca's offer and the career plan they had devised for Romero left his family unimpressed. In contrast, Lazio's deal will be far superior and he has also been assured of a place in Maurizio Sarri's senior squad.

Further upsetting Romero's family was Mallorca's offer included a clause which would see his deal reduced by 50 per cent if they were relegated this season.

The 16 year-old is set to begin training with Sarri's squad this week.
