"Madrid offered Lazio 70 million for Milinkovic-Savic"

Milinkovic-Savic is once again being mentioned as a possible signing for Real Madrid. The Lazio player will finish his contract with the Roman club in the summer of 2024 and there is speculation in Italy about a possible move to Madrid. 

However, according to Massimo Brambati, a former football player, Milinkovic-Savic was already close to joining Madrid when Zinedine Zidane was coach. "Zidane went to watch Milinkovic-Savic, and requested him to Florentino Perez, who offered 70 million to Lazio," he said. 

Real Madrid are not be the only club interested in signing Milinkovic-Savic. From Italy, Juventus, who are in the process of strengthening their squad, are reportedly interested in the Lleida-born player. 

The Serbian completed a good start to the season. After 25 games played, he has scored six goals and provided seven assists, good enough numbers to leave Lazio, before the World Cup in Qatar, in fourth place in Serie A.
