With Paul Pogba having probably played his last game for Manchester United following his early exit due to injury against Liverpool, all eyes at Old Trafford are fixed on a future without the Frenchman, whose contract expires this summer.
Expected to head to either France or Italy once the season ends, the midfielder will need to be replaced, and Sergej Milinković-Savić remains the bookies’ favourite, at least in Italy.
There’s rarely a mention of whether incoming Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag actually wants him, but we highly doubt the Dutchman would be against having such a complete player in his squad going forward.
Either way, Corriere dello Sport make one thing clear in their article on the Serbian’s future on Wednesday, and that’s that the Lazio star will leave the Rome club this summer.
They say ‘the pact with Milinković-Savić is clear’, and that is ‘this year, he will go away’.
For a transfer to take place, whether it’s to Manchester United or elsewhere, ‘an understanding must be found on the valuation’ which the Serbia international’s entourage believe ‘cannot exceed €65-70m’.
With just a couple of fixtures left in Serie A, it’s pointed out the Lazio star is ‘focused on the end of the season’, which he’d love to end by helping his club qualify for the Europa League.
However, the matches against Juventus and Verona ‘will be his last two games’ with the Rome club before he sets off to greener pastures.
