Lazio talent Jacopo Sardo has received an offer from Milan and is now considering his options ahead of next season.

The 19-year-old Italian midfielder joined the Biancocelesti back in January 2022, having initially developed with rivals Roma from 2014 to 2019. He progressed up the ranks and joined the Primavera squad last summer.

Sardo impressed in his debut season with the Lazio Primavera squad, scoring eight goals and providing three assists in 34 appearances, shining in a central midfield role, and standing out as one of the top talents in the youth system.

As reported by Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24), Sardo has now received offers from both Lazio and Milan, with the former offering a new deal to allow him to continue his growth with the Primavera and the latter willing to include him in their new Under-23 squad in Serie C.

Should the 19-year-old ultimately leave the Biancocelesti, the Rossoneri would have to pay compensation of less than €1 million as well as a 20% future resale clause.
