Chievo want Diakite
Chievo Verona are on the trail of Sunderland defender Modibo Diakite.
The 26-year-old, who arrived at the Stadium of Light on a free transfer from Lazio last summer, has started only 3 league games since Gus Poyet replaced Paolo Di Canio in October.
Sources in Italy claim Chievo have already sounded out his representatives over a possible move and that he is open to a return to Italy.
Diakite spent seven seasons with Lazio, while he started his career at Pescara.
The centre-back, who has over 2 years left on his existing deal, is rated at around £2.5m.
