Fenerbahce's move for Oscar Cardozo has broken down - and that could open the door for Liverpool and Chelsea to reignite their interest in the Benfica star.
The Paraguayan's future in Lisbon is in doubt after Benfica's dramatic end-of-season collapse and Fenerbahce have been leading the chase to sign him.
But the Turkish side's president Aziz Yildirim has revealed that a deal has hit a hitch over Benfica's refusal to sanction any offers lower than £14.5m.
"Let's see if we can find a club that will pay £14.5m," he told Record.
"Wait until the first week of July. Cardozo is a great player, but we have to consider the interests of the club, and see if there is a club who will pay £14.5m for a 30-year-old."
Cardozo's availability could pique the interest of several Premier League clubs.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers could be forced to sign a replacement for wantaway Uruguayan Luis Suarez, while Jose Mourinho is also on the hunt for a new forward with Fernando Torres tipped to depart Stamford Bridge this summer.
