Tottenham are in talks with Lazio over the departure of former club captain Hugo Lloris.
Spurs would ideally like a fee for Lloris, who still has a year remaining on a two-year contract agreed last summer, but the Italian club are pushing to sign him on a free transfer.
The 36-year-old confirmed at the end of last season that he would like a fresh challenge after 11 seasons with Tottenham.
He has been replaced in the squad by Italian goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario and succeeded as club captain by Heung-min Son.

Lloris was the only fit player left out of Spurs' pre-season tour of Australia, Thailand and Singapore after agreeing with new head coach Ange Postecoglou that he could remain in London and try to find a new club. He was also not part of the matchday squad as they began the season with a 2-2 draw at Brentford last weekend, with youngster Brandon Austin providing cover for Vicario.
The World Cup-winning former France captain, who retired from international football after finishing as runner-up in last winter's tournament in Qatar, has made 447 appearances for Spurs, with his final game set to be the humiliating 6-1 defeat at Newcastle under Cristian Stellini, when he was forced off with an injury at half-time after shipping five goals in the first 21 minutes.
Lloris' departure would be another significant milestone in the changing of the guard at Spurs after Harry Kane left his boyhood club for Bayern Munich last week.
Kane was vice-captain to Lloris but Postecoglou has named a new leadership group, with Son now assisted by James Maddison and Cristian Romero.
