The latest reports have claimed that Premier League side Manchester United has agreed upon a £71 million deal to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic Savic in the summer transfer window.
The Red Devils finished in sixth on last season’s Premier League table and have a lot to work on in the future if they are to get back to the summit of English football. United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has already made an impact in the summer transfer window by signing Daniel James and Aaron Wan Bissaka but the 20 time League champions have to lure in a few more reinforcements before the summer transfer window closes.
There is speculation revolving around World Cup winner Paul Pogba’s future at Old Trafford as the 26-year-old has been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu to join La Liga giants Real Madrid this summer. Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini went to the Far East to play in the Chinese Super League in January and Spanish star Ander Herrera left to join Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint Germain this summer.
United are clearly running short of top class midfielders and the 46-year-old Solskjaer is not completely sure if Pogba will remain at Old Trafford this summer after he stated that it was his dream to join Real Madrid and work alongside French compatriot Zinedine Zidane.
However, United have been linked with signing a number of midfielders and Sporting Lisbon’s Bruno Fernandes remains the most likely candidate to join the red half of Manchester this summer transfer window. But recent reports have claimed that Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic Savic is the main priority for United as the potential heir to Pogba if the Frenchman leaves the club.
Milnikovic Savic was linked with a move to Manchester United last summer but nothing really materialized. The 24-year-old star did not have a great season in terms of his ability and valuation but would suit United’s style of play due to the way he holds the ball in attacking positions.
The Serbian’s agent is already in Manchester and negotiating a deal for his client which is claimed that Lazio will receive around £71 million for the transfer of Milinkovic Savic to Manchester United. However, the move will only take place if Pogba leaves the club.
