Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has denied the rumours that he has fallen out with Lazio coach Maurizio Sarri.
The 26-year-old Serbian midfielder was the subject of much talk in the Italian press, who suggested that he had upset the 62-year-old Italian coach due to a poor attitude and aloof mindset, but the player has hit back at these claims.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano, Milinkovic-Savic was clear in his feelings regarding the rumours, noting that ‘I see lot of rumours about me but… I don’t care! I just want Lazio to win.’
The Serbian midfielder has been linked with Premier League side Manchester United recently but for now he will remain with Lazio, not leaving Rome in next month’s transfer window.
Milinkovic-Savic, who is contracted to the Biancocelesti until 2024, has been a core part of Sarri’s squad, appearing in all 19 league games so far this season. The Serbian midfielder has scored five goals and provided six assists in that time, adapting well to the 62-year-old coach’s attacking system.
