Real Madrid rival Manchester United for Serie A star

Real Madrid have earmarked Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as a potential transfer target this summer, claims Marca.

Milinkovic-Savic has established himself as one of the most exciting players in Serie A this season and is already been linked with a move to Manchester United.

The 22-year-old is reportedly valued at £80m by Lazio and news that Madrid are ready to rival United for his signature will only help the Serie A side extract the highest possible fee.

Madrid plan to freshen up their squad at the end of the season and are being linked with a host of players across Europe as a result.

Lazio are currently enjoying a sensational campaign and would be reluctant to lose someone of Milinkovic-Savic’s talent as they look to re-establish themselves as one of the top clubs in Italy.

No central midfielder has scored more Serie A goals than Milinkovic-Savic this season (7).
