The Serbian midfielder, who is contracted to Lazio until 2024, has every intention of repeating his dominant performances next year as well, remaining happy in Rome despite the endless links with a move away. His father Nikola recently confirmed that the player is happy in the Italian capital.
This season, Milinkovic-Savic has made 25 appearances across all competitions, for a total of 1780 minutes. In that time, he has scored five goals and provided six assists, remaining consistently strong despite the shift in tactical system and formation.
