Liverpool needs a talented central midfielder as soon as possible, and recent reports have connected them to Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Serbia.
It was reported a few days ago by CWM that the Reds are prepared to sign the Lazio midfielder in exchange for Joe Gomez and cash.
La Gazzetta Dello Sport has lately published an intriguing update (news image provided below).
According to a reputable Italian news outlet, Juventus are now genuinely interested in signing the former Genk midfielder, whose current deal with Lazio expires in 2024.
Milinkovic-agent, Savic’s Mateja Kezman, and Lotito have verbally agreed that the midfielder may depart in January for the proper price.
Instead of transferring him to any Serie A opponent, the president would prefer to sell his finest asset to suitors outside. Therefore, Liverpool is superior to the Bianconeri.
According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Lazio is asking for a total of 60 million euros (£51.8 million) to sell the 27-year-old star, with add-ons.
Under Maurizio Sarri’s leadership, the 35-time international has frequently scored and assisted in goals for the Italian team.
He contributed a few assists over the weekend to help his club defeat Fiorentina and grab all three points. The dynamic midfielder has made just nine league starts, yet he has already directly assisted on 10 goals (3 goals and 7 assists).
Should Liverpool make a £51.8 million offer to acquire Sergej Milinkovic-Savic during the January transfer window, in your opinion?
