Juventus managed to keep ahold of Adrien Rabiot, but a top-end addition to the midfield can’t be excluded, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is still on their radar. The Serb continues to have the Bianconeri as his primary landing spot and hasn’t received different offers, Alfredo Pedullà informs.
Despite some chatter, Chelsea aren’t keen as they prefer signing younger players. The scenario could change only if a team lodged a bid that meets the Biancocelesti’s lofty request. The star believes he will depart and hasn’t changed his mind on an extension.
Juventus are unwilling to spend a lot for Milinkovic-Savic, especially considering that they would be the frontrunners to sign him on a free in 2024. They are banking on the fact that Lazio will lower the asking price later in the summer when the prospect of losing him for nothing will become an increasingly real threat. Nicolò Rovella and Luca Pellegrini could be part of the package.
Per La Stampa (via Tuttomercatoweb), the Bianconeri also like Teun Koopemeiners. Even though his price tag is robust, Atalanta could be open to getting some players in return.
Our Take on Juventus and Milinkovic-Savic
It seems to be one of those deals that the Old Lady slow-cook for a long time and eventually complete. They could use another piece as they can’t trust Paul Pogba too much. The Biancocelesti are in a pickle.
