Premier League interest is being encouraged in Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Arsenal and Newcastle United are both keen on prising the Serb away from Rome this summer.
La Gazzetta dello Sport says Milinkovic-Savic is set to turn down a new contract offer tabled by Lazio.
The proposal would see Milinkovic-Savic's wages jump to 4m-a-year plus bonuses and also include a 60m buyout clause.
But the midfielder is set to reject the offer to present Lazio with a dilemma as his present deal expires at the end of next season,.
