Juventus remain interested in adding Sergej Milinkovic Savic to their squad as soon as possible, with the midfielder now nearing the end of his current contract at Lazio.
He has been one of the best players in his position in European football since moving to Roma with his current contract expiring in 2024.
Juve wants to incorporate him into their squad now, but the midfielder is also in talks with the Biancocelesti and they want him to stay.
Lazio also want a Juve player, Luca Pellegrini, this gives the Bianconeri the chance to offer them a more effective player deal in exchange for Milinkovic-Savic.
However, a report on Tuttosport reveals that Juve will have to get Eintracht Frankfurt to terminate Pellegrini’s loan deal before such a proposal can happen.
He joined the Germans on loan in the summer and hasn’t played as many games as required, but the Germans still want him to stay with them until the end of the season.
Juve FC says
Unless we add a retirement option in the deal that brought Pellegrini to Germany, Frankfurt is right to keep the player until the end of the season.
However, we can work out a deal with the Germans to release him, even if it means paying them a small fee for their inconvenience.
