TOP STORY: Milinkovic-Savic eyed by elite sides
Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, and Juventus are all interested in Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to Calciomercato.
The Serie A side value the 26-year-old at €80 million, with the Serbia international impressing but reportedly wanting to move on as his deal runs until 2024.
For Manchester United, the move could be viewed as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba, who is set to leave the club himself in the summer. The Frenchman is out of contract in the summer could leave as a free agent. Milinkovic-Savic is viewed as a player in a similar mold, able to make the runs of an attacking midfielder while having the stature to play more defensively when required.
PSG have often changed their midfielders this season, playing each of Ander Herrera, Georginio Wijnaldum, Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes, Danilo Pereira and Idrissa Gueye. There are reports that they could look to move some of those players on, with Milinkovic-Savic able to fill in.
As for Juventus, the January window saw them invest heavily, signing both Dusan Vlahovic and Denis Zakaria. Zakaria, who signed from Borussia Monchengladbach, was the first midfield signing in an overhaul reportedly planned by Juve manager Massimiliano Allegri. However, with Milinkovic-Savic on the radar, there could be more reinforcements to come.
