Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has impressed former Chelsea managers amid transfer links

Former Chelsea manager and current Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri has praised Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge from Lazio, while Jose Mourinho is also understood to have tracked his progress in the past.

The Blues have numerous issues to sort out this summer including in defence, midfield and attack. Defence is the position likely to be given priority treatment, whilst the other two depend on outgoings. It is understood that if any Chelsea midfielders were to depart this summer, it would be Jorginho, who is angling for a move back to Serie A

Amid links to the likes of Adrien Rabiot and others that have emerged in recent days, another option to have surfaced is Serbian international Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Lazio have a price tag on the player of around £51.3million according to Corriere Dello Sport, with the same publication reporting that the Blues were now one of the clubs with an interest in the 27-year-old. The report also claims no club have so far been willing to meet the asking price but claim that Lazio have an interest in Chelsea pair Emerson and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
