AC Milan and Barcelona are among the clubs rumoured to be interested in Lazio midfielder Hernanes, according to the player s agent.
The 27-year-old midfielder has been strongly linked with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico after impressing for Lazio following a 13.5 million-euro transfer from Sao Paulo in 2010.
Hernanes representative insisted his charge s wish is to remain at Lazio, but also claimed there is a lot of demand for the player, citing rumoured interest from European heavyweights Milan and Barca.
Right now I am in Brazil, but in August I will travel to Rome, Joseph Lee told Lalaziosiamonoi.it.
I will speak again with president Claudio Lotito.
I have received many phone calls from people who want to ask for information about my client. I have not yet received any offer from a big club, but many phone calls from agents.
I have heard that Barcelona and AC Milan are interested, but there has been no offer from them.
Hernanes has a contract with Lazio and he has frequently said that he wants to stay in Rome. His name, however, is circulating amongst many agents.
