Lazio will only consider an outright sale for Mauro Zarate.

His contract includes a buy-out clause worth €20m and it's reported President Claudio Lotito will only sell for that sum.

"There has been some timid interest from Inter for Maurito and I think the Nerazzurri can achieve something in the final days of the transfer market," agent Beppe Bozzo told Sky Sport Italia.

"Inter are interested in a loan with an option to buy, but this formula is not particularly appreciated by President Lotito. He will not accept a loan deal.

"The real negotiations have to take place in a different way. If people want something to happen, then it will."
