SMS was one step away from AC Milan, now the bidding war with Inter and Juve begins
The Serbia International came close to joining AC Milan last summer when the Rossoneri made a € 30 million loan offer to Lazio including an option to buy set to € 90 million.
AC Milan put their offer on the table in the night between the 16th and the 17th of August and Lotito didn’t have enough time to sign a valuable replacement.
In addition to that, the pressure of Simone Inzaghi and the – at the time – Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta convinced Lotito to retain the talented midfielder.
Milinkovic-Savic has now signed a new contract with Lazio but he is not going through the best moment of his career. His price-tag has decreased and according to Il Corriere della Sera, Inter, Juve and AC Milan will try to sign him in the summer.
Inter have made SMS their summer transfer priority although they’ve also set their sights on Paul Pogba.
