Lazio receive "several offers" for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Lazio have received numerous offers over the £62m mark for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, whose agent linked him with Manchester United and Manchester City last month.

Lazio director of football Igli Tare has revealed that "several offers" have already been tabled for in-demand midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The 22-year-old was linked with a move to Manchester United and Manchester City last month after impressing for the Biancocelesti since the start of 2016-17.

Milinkovic-Savic's agent even hinted that there could be a transfer tug-of-war for his signature, with the likes of Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus also showing an interest.

Tare has ruled Juve out of the early running for the former Serbia Under-21s international, but says that a number of other clubs are willing to spend big to land him in the New Year should Lazio choose to cash in.

"It is the pitch that decides the player's price tag," he told Premium Sport. "We have received several offers for him. We have received offers exceeding €70m (£62m), but not from Juventus. He signed a contract extension six months ago and that means that he is happy here."

Milinkovic-Savic netted seven times in 38 appearances for the Biancocelesti last term and has been trusted with the captain's armband early on this season.
