Juventus are now reportedly interested in signing Lazio superstar Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, with Arsenal and Tottenham also keen on the Serie A midfielder this summer.
According to Corriere dello Sport, the Turin giants have turned their attention to sign Milinkovic-Savic following a injury crisis at Juventus that could see Weston McKennie and Paul Pogba miss the first half of the season, with Massimiliano Allegri also looking to offload Arthur Melo and Adrien Rabiot.
With just two fit senior midfielders in Manuel Locatelli and Denis Zakaria, Juventus face a huge problem ahead of the Serie A campaign, which is due to start in two weeks time. And as a result, the Bianconeri are now keen on signing Milinkovic-Savic, who is reportedly wanted by Arsenal and Tottenham.
As per reports, Lazio are open to selling their record-breaking Serbian midfielder this summer for €80m (£70m), yet with such a high asking price, no club is yet to make an offer for the 27-year-old, who could once again remain in the Italian capital despite huge interest from some of Europe’s biggest sides.
Indeed, Milinkovic-Savic is regarded by many as one of Europe’s most complete midfielders, and Juventus eyeing the Lazio star could finally see the former Genk dynamo secure a move to a top club, much to the dismay of Arsenal and Tottenham, who could fall behind in the race for the Balkan.
Juventus should feel confident in beating rivals to Milinkovic-Savic signing
Juventus have had an interesting summer transfer window in beating many big teams to the signing of Gleison Bremer as well as bringing Pogba back to Turin, and following this latest update, the Serie A giants should feel confident in themselves in winning the race for Milinkovic-Savic.
After all, the Lazio midfielder himself would likely be open to signing for Juventus, and with Milinkovic-Savic in the prime of his career, the 27-year-old could be an incredible asset for any big side in Europe, with Arsenal and Tottenham now seemingly set to miss out on the Serie A talent.
