Lazio are considering making a move for Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, according to reports in Italy.
The Spaniard has made just seven appearances for the Blues this season, but is expected to get a run in the side during the next few weeks with Senegal's Edouard Mendy at the Africa Cup of Nations.
But Il Messaggero claim that has not deterred ex-Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri from eyeing a reunion with the 27-year-old in the Italian capital, but the latter's reported £155,000-per-week salary remains a problem for the Serie A side.
Kepa made 54 Chelsea appearances in the Italian's only season in charge in west London in 2018-19, and was infamously involved in a Carabao Cup final bust-up with Sarri.
The report also adds the 63-year-old boss has personally called Brazilian midfielder Allan to ask him to join Lazio this month.
The 31-year-old made 132 appearances under Sarri in three seasons between 2015 and 2018 at Napoli, before joining Everton in 2020.
The same outlet claims Everton are open to loaning Allan out until the end of the season, but like Kepa, his wages - reportedly £70,000-per-week - are preventing a return to Italy.
Inter Milan midfielder Matias Vecino - who played under Sarri at Empoli - is reportedly another midfield option for Lazio, with the Uruguay international's contract at San Siro expiring in June..
But Lazio may well be able to afford their targets if they sell first, with Vedat Muriqi among those who could be let go amid reported Premier League interest from Leeds United.
