Cristiano Ronaldo 'wants Sergej Milinkovic-Savic at Juventus'

Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly urged Juventus to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic before this summer's transfer window closes for business.

Ronaldo left Real Madrid to join Juventus earlier this summer, and the forward will be looking to help the Italian giants triumph in the European Cup for the first time since 1996.

According to Don Balon, Ronaldo feels that the Juventus squad is still short in midfield if they are to challenge for the Champions League, and has urged the Old Lady to move for Lazio's Milinkovic-Savic this month.

Milinkovic-Savic scored 14 times and provided nine assists during an impressive 2017-18 campaign with Lazio, and a number of clubs - including Manchester United and Real Madrid - have been linked with his services.

Last week, Lazio president Claudio Lotito said that the Serbia international "is the best young player" in the world at the moment, and suggested that the midfielder will not be sold for less than £100m.
