Manchester United will reportedly face stiff competition from Real Madrid and PSG in the race for the Lazio midfielder.
According to Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport, Manchester United will face stiff competition from European powerhouses Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain in the race for Lazio ace Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the summer.
Corriere dello Sport reported earlier this week that Jose Mourinho sees Milinkovic-Savic as the ideal summer signing, and that he will have to fork out £131 million if he wants to bring him to Old Trafford.
Things have just got a whole lot more complicated for United, though.
Corriere dello Sport claim that Madrid and PSG have entered the race to sign the Serbia international.
The 23-year-old is one of the continent’s most highly sought-after midfielders, after impressing for Lazio this season.
In 111 appearances for the Serie A side, he has notched up 21 goals and 18 assists, but the manner in which he influences the game is what has attracted so many potential suitors.
For someone so young, Milinkovic-Savic plays with surprising levels of maturity and possesses a wonderful positional sense, and an understanding of exactly where to be at the right time.
The Serb would be a wonderful addition to the United squad, but things just got a whole lot harder for them, with some of Europe’s most elite clubs joining them in the race for the Lazio man.
