Chelsea star's exit on the rocks over huge wages
KURT ZOUMA'S proposed loan move to Italy is in doubt after it emerged suitors Lazio could struggle to meet his wages.
Kurt Zouma could be the first Chelsea player axed by Guus Hiddink
Defender Zouma, 21, has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in order to regain his form.
The France international has started 20 games for Chelsea this term during the club's plummet down the Premier League table.
Chelsea would expect any interested club to pick up Zouma's full salary as part of the deal.
And Gazzetta suggest Lazio's stance could lead Napoli or Fiorentina to muscle in on the player.
