Former club Sporting Lisbon are among a clutch of sides in talks to sign striker Islam Slimani from Leicester City, according to a report.
The Algeria international has failed to secure a regular first-team place with the Foxes since joining in a club-record £28m move from Sporting two years ago.
Sky Sports News claims that Slimani may now be offered a route back to the Estadio Jose Alvalade, while Fenerbahce and Besiktas are also interested.
Leicester are only willing to offload the 30-year-old on a permanent basis, however, having sent him on loan to Newcastle United for the second half of last season.
Slimani made just four appearances and failed to score a single goal in a disappointing spell at St James' Park.
