While Sunday night’s dramatic end to the Serie A season was great news for Inter, who qualified for the Champions League in the last few minutes of their game against Lazio, the result meant heartbreak for their opponents.
Not only does it mean Claudio Lotito’s side will miss out on a lot of me, but there’s also a very good chance that Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will be leaving the club in the summer amid the speculation Manchester United are interested.
This is what Il Tempo are reporting on Monday, saying it would be ‘difficult for Milinkovic-Savic to stay at Lazio without Champions League football’.
It was reported last week that had Lazio qualified for the elite European competition, there was a ‘good chance’ the Serie A side could have held onto their star for an extra year to allow him time to develop further before getting his big move abroad.
Now, he’d have to make do with the Europa League, and with a desire to play one step up from there, clubs like Manchester United will have an easier time convincing him to move.
José Mourinho, who has long been reported to be a big fan of the young midfielder, is probably rubbing his hands together in glee at the thought of bringing him to Old Trafford.
