AC Milan are stepping up their pursuit of a Liverpool defender, while Man Utd want one man to lead a ‘midfield revolution’, according to Saturday’s European papers.
OLD LINK RESURFACES AGAIN FOR MAN UTD
Manchester United have once again been linked with a summer swoop for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic by the Italian media.
The Red Devils have been linked with the Serbian in recent months and especially while Jose Mourinho was still in charge at Old Trafford.
Nothing came of the reported interest in the end with the price demanded by Lazio at one point going above the €150m mark.
However, United‘s interest is apparently back with SportMediaSet (via Sport Witness) claiming that Lazio’s sporting director Igli Tare has flown to London to ‘settle once and for all’ Milinkovic-Savic’s future.
There are other English clubs understood to be interested – although the report doesn’t state which ones – with Tare there to listen to proposals with United ‘particularly’ interested in Milinkovic-Savic.
The 24-year-old ‘doesn’t really want to stay’ with Serie A side Lazio and United see him as the perfect addition for their midfield ‘revolution’.
Lazio are understood to want €100m for Milinkovic-Savic – who they demanded more for a year ago – but could accept as little as €80m.
The report insinuates that Milinkovic-Savic could be brought in before United sell Paul Pogba after the Serbia international sold his apartment in Rome.
