As the contract of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic with Lazio expires in 2024, these are crucial months to decide whether he’s renewing his deal or leaving the club.
The Italian side are not keen on losing the player for free, so if there’s no white smoke for a renewal soon, then a summer sale becomes a real scenario this year.
It turns out that Newcastle United are one of the potential destinations for the midfielder, the Italian media today reports.
Newspaper Corriere Della Sierra features a story with an update on the renewal process. They claim Lazio remain ‘confident’ they’ll find an agreement with Milinkovic-Savic, but they do have some issues to be sorted, such as the release clause.
That’s the type of situation which could even block the deal, and that’s where the interested sides come in, with the outlet claiming Newcastle and Arsenal have been ‘on’ the player lately.
For now, there are no details on how advanced Newcastle’s talks for the signing are, since they seem to be watching the situation to see how favourable the scenario will be at the end of the season.
