What happened. Lazio have set a €20m asking price for Nuno Tavares, who has been frozen out of pre-season and is deemed expendable.

• Porto and Beşiktaş made approaches but neither materialised.
• A sell-on clause means Arsenal would receive about 40% of any fee.
• Tavares has not played a minute of pre-season under Gattuso.

A summer exit looks increasingly likely as Lazio seek funds for reinforcements.
