Man Utd in commanding position for Milinkovic-Savic as report reveals state of play on Lazio man

Manchester United are seemingly the best placed club to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, with one report providing the latest on the Lazio star’s future.

The Serie A club are determined to keep hold of Milinkovic-Savic ahead of next season. But rumours of a Premier League move are growing, mainly involving Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United.

According to reports last month, the Red Devils are making progress in a deal for the central midfielder. Italian source il Corriere dello Sport claim he will cost £66million.

More recently, it has been claimed Lazio boss Maurizio Sarri is expecting Milinkovic-Savic to leave this summer. While this would be a major blow, it would give Sarri plenty of funds to improve other parts of his team.

Juventus were previously rivalling Manchester United for the 27-year-old. But they look set to pull out of the pursuit to capture Paul Pogba on a free transfer instead.

Italian outlet Il Tempo provide an update on the state of play with regards to Milinkovic-Savic, as cited by Sport Witness.

It seems United are the team pushing the most to sign him. That’s because they are the only potential suitor to put a bid on the table.

The Old Trafford club have offered £46.7million for Milinkovic-Savic, who represents Serbia on the international stage.
