Manchester United 'preparing £50m Sergej Milinkovic-Savic offer'

Manchester United are reportedly lining up a €60m (£50m) summer move for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The 27-year-old has again been in impressive form for his Italian club during the 2021-22 campaign, scoring eight times and registering 10 assists in 39 appearances in all competitions.

Man United have been strongly linked with the Serbia international in recent months, while Paris Saint-Germain are also believed to be keen on his signature in the upcoming market.

According to La Repubblica, the 20-time English champions are preparing to place a €60m (£50m) offer on the table for the midfielder in the hope of signing him ahead of next season.

However, the report claims that Lazio are looking for a fee in the region of €80m (£67.4m) for a player who has more than two years left to run on his contract in Italy.

Milinkovic-Savic has scored 55 goals and registered 49 assists in 286 appearances for his current side since making the move from Genk in August 2015.

Man United are expected to be in the market for at least one central midfielder this summer, with Paul Pogba set to leave when his contract expires at the end of June.
