You didn’t think the transfer window was going to be allowed to close without a new circus around Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, right?
The Serbian midfielder was strongly linked with a move before the World Cup, with claims Lazio were demanding all kinds of fees, going all the way up to €180m.
Not truly excelling at the tournament in Russia put a damper on things and the high price being asked seemed to edge everyone away.
Manchester United were the most linked English club, but midfield isn’t thought to be a priority right now.
They claim Jose Mourinho’s club is considering making a ‘super offer’ in the ‘coming hours’ for the Lazio player.
Real Madrid are said to be interested, but Mourinho would be keen Milinkovic-Savic ends up at Manchester United instead.
It all sounds far fetched, especially at this stage of the transfer window, and would be a surprise new track given that a central defender is the priority right now.
These claims will naturally be combined with rumours around Paul Pogba to send the story off on another tangent.
