Lucas Biglia s agent has suggested there is widespread interest in the Lazio midfielder, with Inter a strong candidate for his signature.
The 29-year-old arrived at the Stadio Olimpico from Anderlecht in 2013 and has become an integral part of Stefano Pioli s midfield.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor has been encouraged by the reaction of his team-mates to the pain of last weekend’s defeat by Rangers.
A 3-0 loss at Ibrox came after Celtic had already retained the cinch Premiership title and beaten their Glasgow rivals in both cup competitions.
Only Inverness can now stop Celtic winning the treble by clinching the Scottish Cup too, but the overall picture did not stop the derby defeat from hurting.
Speaking ahead of Saturday’s visit of St Mirren, McGregor said: “Training has been good the last few days, there has been a bit of a reaction, and back in front of our home supporters, we want to go out and show them that reaction from last weekend and put in a good performance and get maximum points.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter says only illness will prevent him from running for the organisation s leadership for a fifth time.
Blatter pledged in 2011 that this term would be his last in charge of world football s governing body.
But the 77-year-old appears set to go back on his promise after admitting to Swiss radio station RTS that he would like to stay on in the job.
If I have the health – and I am currently in good health – I don t see why I would stop the work. A work which continues, Blatter said.
FIFA needs consolidation. Many people say it needs to be continued.
I will not shout I m candidate but if the members associations ask it to me, then I will not say no.
FIFA s leadership will be taken to a poll in May 2015, a time when Blatter, w…
