Juve hope Fagioli can sweeten deal for Lazio star Milinkovic-Savic

Milinkovic-Savic

Juventus are hoping to include prospect Nicolo Fagioli in a deal for Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The Biancocelesti are ready to cash in on the 27-year-old Serbian midfielder in the summer in order to fund their squad overhaul and both Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain are incredibly keen to pick him up. The player himself is happy with the two clubs, although he is also seriously tempted by Juventus.

As reported by Calciomercato.com, Milinkovic-Savic’s agent Mateja Kezman has been in talks with Juventus for some time now and they believe that offering the 21-year-old Fagioli to Lazio could help lower the overall price of a deal for the Serbian star.

Biancocelesti coach Maurizio Sarri is a fan of the Italian midfielder and he’s been following his development at Cremonese closely, but it’s hard to imagine this formula bearing fruit; Claudio Lotito is known to be a tough negotiator and it’s unlikely he’ll accept a deal which includes a player in exchange.
