The truth behind rumours linking Man Utd target to Real Madrid
The saga has dominated news headlines, with papers and outlets across Europe covering a potential deal for Lazio’s complete central midfielder. The clubs interested did not just stop at Real Madrid, Juve, Milan and Manchester United; with Chelsea, Barcelona, Inter Milan, PSG and Manchester City all reportedly chasing him at one point too.
According to what has been learned by CalcioMercato.com, Milinkovic-Savic to Real Madrid did not take place because although Florentino Perez likes the midfielder, he does not value him over €120 million at Claudio Lotito’s asking pirce; and Perez also reportedly thinks that the Serbian is not yet at the level of Real Madrid – thus remaining at Lazio, where he looks like he could be signing a contract extension.
