Manchester United are reportedly being offered the potential transfer of Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic for around €50million.
The Serbia international has shone in his time in Serie A, and it would be intriguing to see what he could do in the Premier League.
Man Utd could do with Milinkovic-Savic as an alternative to Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, with the Telegraph reporting that he’s being offered to the club as they face likely embarrassment over De Jong.
The Telegraph note that Chelsea could beat the Red Devils to De Jong, but one imagines fans would be pretty happy with Milinkovic-Savic as an alternative option.
An all-action box-to-box player, Milinkovic-Savic looks like the kind of all-rounder who’d be a significant upgrade on the likes of Scott McTominay and Fred.
