Lazio are open to selling midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, a player who has been regularly linked with Manchester United over the last five years.
United considered a move for Milinkovic-Savic at the end of last summer's transfer window amid their struggles to get a deal for Frenkie de Jong over the line.
United deemed Milinkovic-Savic too expensive in 2018 when he was valued at €100m, but Lazio quoted a fee of €68million (£57.5m) nine months ago and a potential deal was considered by key figures at Old Trafford.

United eventually turned their attention to signing Casemiro, but they're set to be in the market for a midfielder again this summer and Milinkovic-Savic, who can play different midfield roles, is entering the final year of his Lazio contract.
The Serb's deal at Lazio expires in the summer of 2024, and the club are open to selling him in the coming months. Lazio's director of sport Igli Tare was asked about Milinkovic-Savic by Sky Sport Italia and he conceded an exit was possible.
“For the good of everyone, we will sit around a table and clarify this," Tare said. "What I say for me is also valid for him, he has a strong bond with Lazio, he admires and respects the club and coach. Anything can happen, including a sale to another club.”
Ten Hag wants to sign a world-class striker and midfielder this summer and Harry Kane is his priority signing. United have struggled for goals this term and Kane has 28 in the Premier League.
