Juventus has shown a strong interest in acquiring Sergej Milinkovic-Savic for a significant portion of the current transfer window. However, they are only willing to secure his services if the price is reasonable.
Negotiations are underway between Juventus and Lazio to find a mutually agreeable deal. However, Juventus is unwilling to pay the reported asking price of €40 million for the Serbian midfielder, especially considering that he will be available on a free transfer at the end of the following season.
Milinkovic-Savic, widely regarded as one of the top players in the league, has expressed his desire to leave Lazio during this transfer window, with just one year remaining on his current contract at the club.
Lazio, in response to the situation, has demonstrated their openness to his departure. They have already identified Napoli star Piotr Zielinski as a potential ideal replacement for Milinkovic-Savic, as reported by Tuttojuve. Zielinski is seen as a player who could seamlessly fill the role that Milinkovic-Savic might leave behind at Lazio.
Juve FC Says
SMS is a player we need to add to our group and doing that soon would be ideal as the midfielder is a class act.
He is better than most of our current options and we need to push to add him to the group.
Now that Lazio has identified a replacement for him, we probably should push them to reduce their asking price.
Because these are early days in the transfer window, getting a discount from them might be hard, but we expect that to be the case at some point in this window.
As a Laziale, I demand Lotito offer 0 discount. As a matter if fact, ask for extra 5 mil from Juve or keep this gem.
If Milinkovic Savic did not thrive to bring Lazio to overcome top sides and also Europe, the same thing will apply with Juventus. We need to look elsewhere.
Neither Marchisio, Vidal, nor Pirlo would have succeeded alone. In my opinion, an unbeatable midfield requires 3 outstanding players.
Juve-midfield needs SMS.
SMS-Pogba-Rabiot-Locatelli on paper looks good. But I’m not surprised to see them out of action for long next season due to Dinolegri’s outdated fitness training. Unless, Guintoli steps in and sack his useless staff and bring in new ones like those guys at Napoli.
My biggest concern with SMS is that his preferred position is at the left of a midfield trio which is also Rabiot and Pogba`s position. My second concern is that he is to similar of a player to Pobga. That being said, Pobga might just play 100 mins of football next season so it might not be valid concern but still something to think about.
My third concern is that we have no money to sign him and should rather try and keep the best players we have.
