Man United ready to spend £69 million to finally sign Milinkovic-Savic

Man United have reignited their interest in Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic but could face competition from PSG and Real Madrid.

Manchester United have been interested in Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the past and the Serbian international is once again on their radar.

Calcio Mercato reported that Lazio would demand at least £69million from the sale of their star midfielder.

In 2020, Le10Sport reported about the Old Trafford club’s interest in signing the Lazio star, however, he stayed put with the Serie A side.

The Serbian international has enjoyed another outstanding season in Serie A with reported interest in him from Man United, but the Red Devils face competition to hire his services as the likes of Spanish champions Real Madrid and French champions Paris Saint-Germain are also looking to get his signing done.

Although Milinkovic-Savic is contracted to Lazio until 2024, he is eager to continue playing Champions League football.

Lazio, who were eliminated by Bayern Munich in the last-16 of this year’s competition, find themselves with six points to make up to finish in the Serie A top four.

Gazzetta say that reaching the Champions League again would provide a very convincing reason for Milinkovic-Savic to stay at Lazio.

Reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, via Diario AS, have claimed Los Blancos are now leading the race to sign the 26-year old.

Milinkovic-Savic has previously stated his desire to complete a ‘dream move’ to Real Madrid at some stage in his career but he is currently under contract at the Stadio Olimpico until 2024.

Zinedine Zidane is likely to be in the market for midfielder reinforcements this summer as he looks to secure a long-term replacement for Luka Modric in the Spanish capital.

Antonio Cassano praised Milinkovic-Savic after latest Serie A game

Former Italian forward Antonio Cassano lauded Sergej Milinkovic-Savic for his play as of late with Lazio.

The midfielder is just coming off of the one-goal performance against Verona, with his goal ending up being the game-winner in Lazio’s 1-0 win. Overall, The Serbian has contributed a total of 15 goal involvements this season (seven goals and eight assists).

Cassano is much of a fan of Milinkovic-Savic and is pleased to see the midfielder continue to progress with his play. Cassano spoke further to Christian Vieri’s Twitch channel Bobo TV (via La Lazio Siamo Noi) about the Lazio star.

He’s never exhilarated me, and he didn’t exhilarate me two years ago either, but now he can do it all. Now he plays the football we like; he deserves a great opportunity, and he will get it. He has completed his maturation. Both Milinkovic-Savic and Luis Alberto have become total players,” said Cassano.

Milinkovic-Savic has a real opportunity at recording his first career 20-goal involvements campaign. The Serbian midfielder is certainly capable of recording five more goal involvements over Lazio’s last nine remaining fixtures this season.
