Genoa and Uruguay winger Diego Laxalt has attracted interest from Benfica as well as Lazio.
The 25-year-old has said he wants to leave Marassi this summer for a step up to a bigger club.
Lazio were the favourites, but wouldn’t offer more than €10m compared to Genoa’s €15m asking price.
According to Sky Sport Italia, they now face competition from Benfica.
A bidding war would at least delay the move until the World Cup has started.
