Milinkovic-Savic’s agent: “Juventus? An honor”

During the summer of 2018, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic was the proper name of the white market. The Lazio midfielder, on the verge of playing the 2018 World Cup in Russia with Serbia, finished the season with 14 goals and 7 assists, thus becoming one of Real Madrid’s goals. And, according to several Italian media, the whites came to make an offer that was around (and even exceeded) € 150M, an amount in which the Italians had valued their franchise player. Finally, and although the painting Lazio ended up reducing his financial claims, Milinkovic-Savic ended up staying in Rome. 2021/2022 is the Serbian footballer’s seventh season at Lazio, but it could be his last. After a very busy summer 2018, Europe’s big clubs are expected to re-launch themselves for the 26-year-old when the next summer transfer window opens in 2022.

Although teams such as Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have shown interest in the past in incorporating the Lazio midfielder, there is one that has not lost track of Milinkovic-Savic since he began to stand out in Serie A: Juventus of Turin. Although in 2019 the Old lady reached an agreement with the player, this did not bear fruit between the clubs and the Serbian midfielder ended up staying in the Italian capital. But it is now, with the best Milinkovic-Savic shining in Serie A, that the doors of Juventus seem to open again for him. “Juve is still a great club and I think it is an honor for anyone to play for that club”, said the former player Mateja Kezman, agent of the Lazio footballer.

Interviewed by the medium EverythingJuve, Kezman has hinted that the departure of his client is getting closer and closer: “With all due respect to Lazio, Sergej (Milinkovic-Savic) is a player for a great club going forward. And I am sure that soon it will be the time for a new adventure and new dreams. “Although the Turin team seems at the moment the ideal destination for the Serbian to continue exploiting his qualities, there is still nothing closed. “Juventus? To tell the truth, there have been few serious conversations with the bianconeri. In the end nothing happened and no agreement was reached “, acknowledged the player’s agent, before concluding by stating: “We will see what tomorrow brings us.”

With Madrid in the rear-view mirror

However, neither Milinkovic-Savic himself nor the Whites will give up so easily. In the case of the player, he already affirmed in the middle of last season that he had “dreamed of playing for Real Madrid since he was a child. This is the biggest goal of my career and I will do my best to achieve it. “. An asset that the Santiago Bernabéu team, that of fulfilling the Serbian footballer’s dream, could use if they finally go after the Lazio midfielder. Especially because, according to the footballer’s father, Milinkovic-Savic follows the route plan set by his father. “Madrid? He could go to Spain after the age of 25, when he has completed his football maturity in Italy”said Nikola Milinkovic in 2018 when Sergej’s name began to be linked to the white box.
