Lazio have identified Lille’s Yusuf Yazici to replace Milinkovic-Savic if the Serbian leaves the Olimpico in the future, reports Fabrizio Romano.
The highly reliable transfer journalist writes on Calciomercato.com that the Biancocelesti came close to signing the Turkey international one year ago as they were looking for a potential replacement of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The 25-year-old, however, didn’t leave Lazio and the deal fell apart.

The 25-year-old, however, didn’t leave Lazio and the deal fell apart.
Other big clubs in Europe such as Juventus, Manchester United and Real Madrid had reportedly chased the 23-year-old.
Lazio's director of sport Igli Tare is a long-time admirer of the Turkey midfielder who remains a target of the Serie A side for the future.
Yazici scored a hat-trick against Milan in Europa League earlier this month in the only game lost by the Rossoneri so far this season.
