Six years ago today, Lazio signed Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from KRC Genk.
As seen in a post on Lazio’s Twitter page earlier today, the Biancocelesti paid €18 million to the Belgian side for Milinkovic-Savic, which ended up being one of the most important Lazio deals in the last decade.
The 26-year-old Milinkovic-Savic is one of the best midfielders in Europe and has consistently attracted the attention of the top clubs around the continent, but has always remained content in Rome.
Below is a photo of the day that the Serbian midfielder signed six years ago:
