Manchester City striker Valeri Bojinov could be joining Lazio this summer, according to the player's agent.

The Bulgaria international has endured an injury-ravaged two seasons at Eastlands and is unlikely to feature in Mark Hughes' first-team plans this season following the recent captures of Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and Emmanuel Adebayor.

"I can't confirm anything at the moment," Bojinov's agent, Gerry Palomba, told Lalaziosiamonoi.it.

"To date I haven't received any message from Manchester City who are currently touring South Africa. I will fly to England next week and I will talk with the club to see if there is any news.

"Would he agree to join Lazio? Of course. Valeri still feels Italian and hopes to come back.

"Lazio are a club no one could reject. It's a top team and (president Claudio) Lotito has done an excellent job.

"Bojinov has fully recovered from his injury, as proved by his goal against 1860 Munich, and the Citizens have confirmed they have faith in him.

"Lazio is an interesting idea, but I'll be able to say more when there is a concrete offer."
