• Lazio expect Klose stay

Germany striker Klose, 34, has been linked with a move to Barcelona this summer, but Lazio sporting director Igli Tare says there is no chance he will be allowed to depart.

"Klose is not for sale," Tare told Sky Italia. "We have not received any offers for him. If an offer was to arrive, we would not accept it because he is a crucial player for us."

Klose, who joined Lazio on a free transfer from Bayern Munich last summer, scored 13 goals in 27 games in Serie A last season.
