What happened. Lazio have made an approach for Alvaro Morata, who could arrive on loan from Como, after Mauro Icardi rejected them and Bamba Dieng failed a medical.

• Morata turns 34 in October and has played for Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Milan and Galatasaray.
• Lazio have a limited budget and cannot commit to an obligation to buy.
• Coach Gennaro Gattuso prefers Andrea Pinamonti, but a deal is complicated.

Lazio need a centre-forward before the window closes, but financial constraints limit their options.
