Euro Paper Talk: Liverpool make calls after ‘monstrous offer’ claim; Man Utd in pole position for exciting Brazilian
Liverpool’s search for a midfield replacement for Georginio Wijnaldum continues, while Manchester United are at the front of the queue for a Brazilian winger.
LIVERPOOL MAKE CONTACT WITH LAZIO
Liverpool have made enquiries about long-time Manchester United midfield target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s, claims a report in Italy.
Italian outlet Calciomercato mention the Reds as tentative suitors for the Serbia man.
The 26-year-old was a go to transfer link for United in the past. The Lazio enforcer has developed into a powerful central midfielder in Serie A with almost 200 appearances in the Italian top flight.
It’s no surprise that he has emerged on Liverpool and Michael Edwards’ radar at Anfield.
Apparently “there have been some calls” as Liverpool test the water over the type of money the Rome club would want.
Previously, Il Messaggero reported Milinkovic-Savic’s agent Mateja Kezman could bring Lazio chief Claudio Lotito a “monstrous offer from Liverpool”.
The rumour is that Lazio are chasing a figure of €70m-80m. A fee Liverpool are not willing to get anywhere near and an official approach for Milinkovic-Savic has not be forthcoming.
Calciomercato instead state Milinkovic-Savic’s and Luis Alberto could have key roles to play at Lazio under Maurizio Sarri next season.
A big offer though could still tempt Lazio to sell, with Milinkovic-Savic’s dream apparently to pull on the white shirt of Real Madrid
