In the summer, once they have qualified for the Champions League, Arsenal will be trying to strengthen their squad.
While the Gunners are currently leading the race to win the Premier League, there is a general belief that they will need a bit more quality in depth next season to compete on all fronts at the top level.
One of the main names to bolster the middle of the park has been Sergej Milinković-Savić, currently at Lazio, where his contract expires in 2024.
That situation means the Serie A side cannot ask for the moon in the coming transfer window, which works to Edu Gaspar’s and Mikel Arteta’s advantage.
Corriere dello Sport have an article on his future on Thursday, and explain that it’s ‘obvious’ that he’s living his last few months at his current club.
With no negotiations for a renewal, the only option is for him to ‘leave in the summer to avoid leaving on a free transfer’.
The player ‘doesn’t want to be rude’ to his current side, considering all they have done for him over the years, and his agent wants to do the same.
That’s why Mateja Kezman is ‘working to guarantee Lazio an income of €40m’, which is when Arsenal are mentioned.
It’s said there are Premier League clubs following the Serbia international, with the Gunners ‘above all’.
Either way, the player ‘will leave in the summer’, but will do everything he can in the next few months to ensure he leaves Lazio in good conditions both on and off the pitch.
