Diogo Goncalves of Benfica is the favourite to replace Keita Balde Diao at Lazio, with Yacine Brahimi and Steven Bergwijn.
This evening, Monaco completed the transfer for Keita, paying a reported €30m plus up to €5m in bonuses.
The race is on to replace him in the squad, especially as Felipe Anderson is suffering from a knee injury.
According to Sportitalia, the main target is 20-year-old Diogo Goncalves, who can play on the left, right or as a trequartista.

Lazio have a special channel towards him, because super agent Jorge Mendes helped negotiate the Keita deal with Monaco.
Last season, he scored 10 goals with 10 assists in 40 competitive games for Benfica’s youth team.
Another prime candidate in La Repubblica’s report is Bergwijn of PSV Eindhoven, who turns 20 in October.
He has already provided one goal and one assist in three Eredivisie matches this season.
A less likely option is Brahimi, a 27-year-old Algeria international who would cost far more to take from FC Porto.
