Nesta: My future's in Lazio's hands

Nesta has revealed he has spoken to club President Sergio Cragnotti and that there is still a chance the Italian international could yet be sold, with Internazionale reportedly interested in the star.

The 26-year-old has been a constant source of speculation throughout the summer, with Read Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United all keen on landing the world-class defender.

"It would appeal to me to remain, but it's down to the club," said Nesta at a press conference. "I spoke the President (Cragnotti) the other day regarding my future.

"Cragnotti has said to me that if necessary I would be sold. I have no preconceptions about my destination, whether it be Italy or a foreign destination.

Nesta, who wears shirt number 13 for Lazio, surprisingly stated that Internazionale have yet to allocate a player the unlucky number after announcing their squad numbers.

"Inter have yet to assign a player their number 13 shirt. It would be a coincidence, for sure, if I was allocated that shirt."
