Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have made an offer of €40 million (£35 million) for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to Calciomercato.
Arsenal make offer for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
The report in the Italian news outlet has claimed that Milinkovic-Savic’s agent, Mateja Kežman, has received an offer of €40 million (£35 million) from Arsenal.
Earlier this month, Corriere dello Sport claimed that the Serbia international midfielder is willing to make the move to the Gunners in the summer transfer window.
The 28-year-old Serbia international wants to leave Lazio at the end of season and is ready to make the switch to Arsenal.
Corriere dello Sport claimed that Milinkovic-Savic did not fancy a transfer to Arsenal last summer, but the way the Gunners have done so far this season has completely changed his mind.
Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment and could win the title this season.
The Gunners could also go to win the UEFA Europa League this season.
Could a summer transfer happen?
In our view, Arsenal could be able to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio in the summer transfer window.
That the Gunners have already made an offer and the player himself being open to a move to the North London club suggests that things are happening behind the scenes.
The £96,000-a-week (SalarySport) midfielder is at the top of his game at the moment and would be able to make an immediate impact at Arsenal.
