Since joining Lazio in 2015, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has gradually established himself as one of the best midfielders in Serie A, if not the best.
The Serb is physically imposing in midfield, but he also has a splendid technical touch that allows him to score goals and provide assists for his teammates, especially his crime partner Ciro Immobile.
The 28-year-old’s wide variety of weapons should be enough to explain why Juventus have been obsessed with the player for years.
The Bianconeri have been waiting for the Serb’s value to decline as his contract slowly approaches its expiration date (2024). However, Claudio Lotito is not willing to negotiate at all according to recent reports.
According to Calciomercato, the president of Lazio has set the price of Milinkovic-Savic at 120 million euros.

Admittedly, the Biancocelesti’s dogged patron has shown great resilience in his attempts to preserve his most precious asset.
These days, lesser players have been commanding massive transfer figures, so perhaps Lotito is right.
However, Juventus are unlikely to spend such a sum on a single player amid the club’s current financial difficulties.
So if Lazio finds another buyer who can come close to his asking price, it would be hard to imagine the star player ending up in Turin.
