Report: Lazio prepared to sell Felipe Anderson

Manchester United have reportedly been told that they can sign Felipe Anderson from Lazio this month, but it will cost the Reds £36m.

The Premier League outfit have been strongly linked with a move for the Brazilian playmaker over the last couple of weeks and a report last month claimed that the two clubs were close to an agreement.

Speculation has dampened down since then, but according to The Sun, Lazio have informed Man United that a bid of £36m would allow them to open contract talks with the 22-year-old, who is said to be keen on a move to England.

Anderson, who has one Brazilian cap to his name, scored 11 times in 37 games for Lazio last season as the Italian club finished third in Serie A.
