Lazio deny Burak Yilmaz offer

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has denied claims that he has made an offer for Galatasaray striker Burak Yilmaz.

The two clubs are believed to be negotiating a deal, with reports suggesting that they are €5m (£4.2m) apart in their valuations.

However, Lotito said that he is yet to table a formal offer for the 28-year-old, who scored 34 goals in all competitions last season.

"Galatasaray say there is a €5m difference? Then it means [Galatasaray director Bulent Tulun] is negotiating with himself in a mirror," Lotito told Corriere dello Sport.

"I have made no offer. We'll see what happens."

Yilmaz has scored nine goals in 27 appearances for Turkey.
