#4 Juventus want Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Juventus are desperate to bring Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to Turin but are aware that negotiations with Lazio will not be easy. This is because Lazio value the player at €100m, despite the fact that he had an uninspired season. However, there's no doubt that the Serbian is a terrific player and could even be an alternative to Paul Pogba, should the Frenchman fail to turn up at Turin before the start of the season.

However, Juventus are reluctant to pay such a high amount for Milinkovic-Savic, especially since the player has already agreed personal terms with the Serie A Champions, according to various reports. The club hierarchy thus believe that Lazio can be convinced to sell the Serbian for significantly less.

Lazio President Claudio Lotito revealed that they would allow the player to leave if all requirements are met.

Milinkovic-Savic? At Lazio, we keep only those who want to stay at the club. If the player expresses his intention to explore a new adventure, we will not oppose him.

At what price can we let him go? Negotiations are not made in the newspapers. I will only say that he is the best midfielder in the league.
