The closer we get to the end of the season, the more desperate Lazio get about the situation of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, who’s still to agree to a contract extension with them.
And as Gazzetta Dello Sport today writes about the 28-year-old’s situation, Newcastle United are once again named as one of the competitors for his signing.
Newcastle are pushed forward and named as the suitors who have the ‘greatest financial resources’ at this time. They also appear to have an advantage as they have ‘already spoken’ to Mateja Kezman, the player’s agent.
The good news is that Lazio are ready to reduce their requests from last summer. They demanded €100m back then, and no buyers showed up. They don’t want to run the risk of losing him for free next year, so it’s time to listen to lower offers.
Newcastle just need to be aware that the competition for the signing is growing. Arsenal and West Ham also want to take Milinkovic-Savic to the Premier League, while Juventus and Milan promise to compete to keep the midfielder in Serie A.
