Juve handed Milinkovic boost?

By Football Italia staff

Juventus could be handed an advantage in their efforts to sign Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic by super-agent Jorge Mendes.

The Old Lady have been heavily linked with the Serbia international throughout the summer, along with the likes of Real Madrid and Manchester United.

However, Tuttosport reports that Juve’s cause could be helped by Mendes, who has recently brokered the transfer of Joao Cancelo to Turin from Valencia.

Lazio value Milinkovic-Savic at over €100m, with Biancocelesti President Claudio Lotito not an easier negotiator in the transfer market.

However, the Italian daily is confident that with the help of Mendes – who is said to be on excellent terms with the midfielder’s entourage – Juve can remain hopeful of securing their prime target of the summer.

Milinkovic-Savic, who joined Lazio from Belgian club Genk in 2015, is thought to prefer to remain in Italy rather than move to a new country at this stage of his career.
