Juventus remain interested in adding Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to their team as soon as possible.
The midfielder has been one of the best players in his position in Serie A in recent seasons and Juve want him in their group.
Lazio are now fighting to keep him after he entered the final year and a half of his current contract in Rome.
This has encouraged Juve to move for him even though the Biancocelesti remain interested in giving him a new contract.
A report on Calciomercato reveals that despite Lazio fighting for a new contract, they will not sell Juve.
He states that his aim is still to sell him to a club outside of Serie A rather than to strengthen a rival.
Juve FC says
This is not a new situation for Juventus and it won’t stop us from adding the midfielder to our squad unless he doesn’t want to move to Turin.
However, the transfer will cost us a lot of money because he seems interested in ensuring that Lazio get some benefit from his departure.
If he’s serious about leaving, he’ll either demand an affordable buyout clause in a new deal or exhaust his contract to make things easier for us.
