The England U21 international is out of contract at the end of the season, and so far the Black Cats have not offered an extension.
Whilst updating Calciomercato.it on Ashley Cole’s acclimatisation to life in Rome, agent David Manasseh was asked about speculation linking another one of his clients with a move to the Italian capital.
“I can’t confirm Lazio’s interest because I personally haven’t been in contact with them,” Wickham’s representative said.
“We’ve had to comply with FIFA regulations, which requires us to wait until February 1.
“Renewal or sale in January? These are the choices that belong to Sunderland. All I can say is that Connor is doing fine with the Black Cats.
“Would he like to play in Serie A? All options are open. We won’t rule out anything.”
Wickham played a key role in Sunderland’s survival bid last season, scoring five goals in the Black Cats’ final six matches of the Premier League campaign.
