Liverpool news: The Reds are plotting a move to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
Milinkovic Savic has established himself among the best midfielders in Europe since joining the Italian club from Genk in 2015. He has made 239 Serie A appearances so far, scoring 51 goals.
The Serbian international has helped the Eagles win an Italian Cup and two Italian Super Cups. He won the Serie A Best Midfielder award for 2018-19 and was also included twice in the Serie A Team of the Season.
The 27-year-old midfielder also boasts two Napoli Player of the Season accolades in his trophy case.

According to CalcioMercatoWeb (via Sportskeeda), Liverpool are looking to strengthen their midfield by signing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio. They are willing to offer Joe Gomez a cash plus player deal to bring the Serbian international to Anfield.
The Merseyside team have recorded a difficult start to the season. They are currently 11 points behind leaders Arsenal in the league table. Much of this can be attributed to the Reds’ midfield problems.
Thiago, Naby Keita, Curtis Jones, Jordan Henderson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Fabio Carvalho all suffered injuries in the opening weeks of the season. New signing Arthur Melo has also failed to impress Jurgen Klopp and has yet to appear in a league game for the club.
The German coach will look to bring reinforcements to the job during the next transfer window. Aside from Milinkovic-Savic, Marcelo Brozovic is another Serie A midfielder linked with a move to the Reds in recent weeks.
