TRANSFERS Why Manchester United and Arsenal may not consider Frenkie de Jong's move
A pursuit for the Dutch midfielder may not happen at all, given a number of reasons.
The 28-year-old joined Lazio from the Belgian League at the start of the 15/16 season and has established himself as one of the most reliable players in his position in the Serie A, placing him on the radar of a number of clubs.
However, le Aquile managed to keep him, despite a number of suitors. Savic's contract is set to expire next season and has changed Lazio's stance on his sale.
The club put him on the market to avoid losing him for free, and Al-hilal are said to have met their valuation of the player.

Granit Xhaka has shot down any notions that his departure had anything to do with his wife's discontentment with life in England.
The player is also expected to pocket around €25 million annually for accepting the move to Saudi Arabia.
With Savic's for-sale status prior to the window, Premier League side Arsenal were one of the teams linked with a possible move for the midfielder.
He is also said to be of keen interest to Juventus, and despite his willingness to join the Old Lady, their financial situation saw them stall on making an offer.
He is now set to join Odion Ighalo's former club Al-Hilal after the Club World Cup finalists met the financial requirements.
