Liverpool have been given a sizable €80 million price tag for landing the signature of Lazio midfield star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the next summer’s transfer window.
Milinkovic-Savic has been one of the standout performers for the Serie A side over the past few campaigns and the talk of his exit from Lazio sooner rather than later has gained ground in recent times.
A move to the Premier League could be on the cards for the Serbian international with the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool keeping tabs on his situation with interest also rampant in the midfielder’s services from Spain.
Reports from the Italian news outlet Calciomercato, however, claim that Liverpool, who are considered suitors for the Lazio man, could be forced to shell out a fee in the region of €80 million to snap up Milinkovic-Savic ahead of rival clubs in the fray.
The 26-year-old remains a key performer on the pitch for Lazio and there is speculation that the club are pushing for the player to sign on extended terms with talks with his agent Mateja Kezman set to take place soon.
