Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will be one of the protagonists of the upcoming summer, and it is not a guarantee he will leave Serie A, as Juventus are among the contenders. His time at Lazio might be coming to an end after seven illustrious years.
According to Il Messaggero (via SportMediaset), the star midfielder would greatly appreciate transferring to Turin. He would reunite with his brother, Vanja, who plays for the Granata. Moreover, he is very tight with Dusan Vlahovic.
Milinkovic-Savic reportedly has Real Madrid atop his list of destinations. However, Los Merengues have yet to express real interest in signing him. They would likely go all-in on Aurelien Touchameni if they decided to add a midfielder, ESPN informs.
PSG and Manchester United have been in touch with agent Mateja Kezman, the Italian outlet informs. Lazio president Claudio Lotito would rather sell his ace abroad, as they would get more money on the nail. The chairman has set an €80M price tag.
Juventus would not be able to offer that much for Milinkovic-Savic. However, they will try to put together a package of players, on top of a healthy fee, that could entice the Biancocelesti. They could offer, for instance, Nicolò Rovella, Luca Pellegrini and Daniele Rugani. The counterpart is tepid on such proposition.
The Bianconeri would need the Serbian star to come forward and voice his preference for their complicated chase to be successful. His contract runs out in 2024. Lazio will have to pick between extending it or cashing in on him in the summer.
