A report from Lazio Live suggests that Juventus have already agreed terms with midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The Serbian international has been a long-standing target for the Bianconeri, despite several failed attempts to sign the 27-year-old in previous seasons.
Lazio news site ‘Lazio Live’ report that the Old Lady have already reached an agreement in principle with Milinkovic-Savic on a €6 million per season contract.
The deal is thought to meet the demands of the players agent Mateja Kežman, while the midfielder sees Juventus as a good destination. The stumbling block to any potential move is Lazio president Claudio Lotito who is adamant that he won’t sell Milinkovic-Savic for less than €100 million, and plans to offer him a contract renewal of €5 million a season.
Juventus are hoping to make an offer of no more than €70 million including various bonuses and deferred payments, a figure that does not please Lotito who is willing to do anything to keep his player.
