Leicester City will miss out on signing Sampdoria striker Eder, Italian paper Corrierre dello Sport reports.
Inter Milan is apparently the 28-year-old's preferred destination.
And for all those thinking the Foxes were close to signing Southampton's Graziano Pelle, the Southern Echo says offers for the striker will be turned down. Rumours have it that Juventus and Lazio are leading the line to sign the striker, though...

"I didn't realise how big it would be. It came as a surprise. To be included was fantastic for women's football. After the year we have had, with the success of the World Cup, it topped it all off to be included in something so big.
"The girls play Fifa. When we are in the Euro qualifiers, if there is a console at St George's Park the girls play and fill a bit of time up. Lucy Bronze or Gemma Davison are probably the best, I think."

Swansea head coach Francesco Guidolin says the club are close to completing a deal for 26-year-old Chievo striker Alberto Paloschi.
“I asked my chairman [Huw Jenkins] if it was a possibility. I like him,” said Guidolin.
“Paloschi was my player when we worked together at Parma. He was a promising player. He is a good player, a good guy. I think he is important for us and can help the team to have results and score many goals, I hope.
“I think he’s a modern player. He can play well in the Premier League because he is strong.”

Careful - this game requires a whopping ONE megabyte of memory...
Everton are still coming to terms with the disappointment of their Capital One Cup semi-final defeat against Manchester City - so might struggling manager Roberto Martinez go into the transfer market before Monday's deadline to lift the spirits?
The word coming out of France is that the Toffees are showing an interest in Sporting Lisbon's Algerian forward Islam Slimani. The 27-year-old has attracted attention from around Europe with his fine form this season - scoring 20 goals in 29 games.
He has been rated in the £20m bracket, which may prove too rich for Everton's liking.
Everton have long been linked with Dynamo Kiev's Andriy Yarmolenko but he would command a fee in excess of £20m and it is unlikely the Ukrainians will sell while they are still in the Champions League.
