                                            Syracuse, NY.

      Appeal from a judgment of the United States District Court for the Northern

District of New York (Mae Avila D’Agostino, Judge).


      UPON      DUE     CONSIDERATION,      16 year old Senegalese winger Keita Balde Diao has left Barcelona to join Lazio following another similar incident which saw Berlanga earlier leave the Spanish giants and head to Rome.

Keita who was born in 1995 is close to holding an EU passport since he was born and raised in Spain which is beneficial to Lazio as per the rules in Serie A.

The player was sent on loan to UE Cornella which apparently did not appeal to his ambitions. Keita who is well known for his physical strength followed Berlanga who also left Barcalona after a loan spell in Cornella.

It is reported that several teams where after Keita including Arsenal, Manchester United, and Manchester City.
