The Belgian defender’s performances on the way to last season’s double Treble impressed the Serie A side.

And that has prompted Lazio sporting director Igli Tare to take a closer look at Boyata, with Radio SEI claiming he will take in Belgium’s opening World Cup clash with Panama today.
The 27-year-old, below, only has a year left on his Parkhead contract.
Ahead of the Scottish Cup Final he revealed he was keen to open talks about a new deal. But those were put on hold when he made the Belgium World Cup squad.
Boyata was on his way out of Celtic Park two years ago before becoming a key man for Brendan Rodgers.

Now Boyata could get the chance to impress scout Tare on the World Cup stage, with Belgium skipper Vincent Kompany ruled out of the Panama clash with a groin injury.
Boss Roberto Martinez is hoping to have the Manchester City skipper available for their final Group G match with England on June 28.
But Kompany’s injury has opened the door for Boyata, who started last week’s 4-1 friendly win over Costa Rica.
