While English papers claim Jose Mourinho wants Sergej Milinkovic-Savic at Manchester United, there are reports the Lazio star’s agent is caught up in the Belgium scandal.
Mourinho was in the stands to watch Serbia’s Nations League win over Montenegro and SunSport claim he is plotting another attempt to coax the midfielder from Lazio.
The 23-year-old only signed a new contract with the Aquile last week and his price-tag is over €100m.
While English papers claim Jose Mourinho wants Sergej Milinkovic-Savic at Manchester United, there are reports the Lazio star’s agent is caught up in the Belgium scandal.
Mourinho was in the stands to watch Serbia’s Nations League win over Montenegro and SunSport claim he is plotting another attempt to coax the midfielder from Lazio.
The 23-year-old only signed a new contract with the Aquile last week and his price-tag is over €100m.
According to The Sun’s report, Mourinho aims to use his friendship with agent Mateja Kezman to get the deal done.
However, today Belgian paper Het Nieuwsblad claims Kezman is one of the names authorities want to speak to as part of the massive financial fraud and match-fixing inquiry into Belgian football.
The fraud was largely centred around two agents, Mogi Bayat and Dejan Veljkovic, and the latter works for Kezman’s firm.
Het Nieuwsblad and Serbian paper Kurir alleges one of the transfers under investigation for potential fraud is the move that took Milinkovic-Savic from Vojvodina to KRC Genk in 2014.
The same source claims Kezman is currently untraceable.
So far, nine people have been charged, although RTBF claim it is closer to 17, with 29 suspects interrogated.
