Exclusive: 'New Pogba' shining at Lazio, former Liverpool target
The young midfielder shined as Lazio’s primavera thrashed rivals Napoli, even leading 5-0 after only 45 minutes.
In our opinion, he may be more of a successor to fellow Serb (his parents are from there) Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
What particularly impressed, however, was Sarac’s primary role, one that the Italian club has been waiting for him to take on for a while.
A former target of Liverpool, Borussia and Inter, the 19-year-old prodigy was signed by the Eagles in 2015 from Admira Wacker, but went down to a serious injury last season.
Having waited almost a year, he’s back and on fire now. His agent was one of many who was enticed by Lazio’s policy of giving youngsters a chance with the first team, one Milinkovic-Savic (a United target) has grabbed with both hands over the last two seasons.
