According to Il Messaggero (via Lazio News 24), Juventus wants to pursue Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinković-Savić.
However, Lazio wants a significant transfer sum for one of the club’s vital assets. The report states that the club owner and president request €80 million for the 26-year-old midfielder.
Juventus sees this asking price as too steep for Sergej Milinković-Savić, which complicates their pursuit of the player.
