AC Milan made a staggering offer for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic back in the summer of 2018 that was rejected by Lazio, Mauro Suma has claimed.
Milan were heavily linked with a move for Milinkovic-Savic in that summer as the Rossoneri looked to bolster the midfield after a season in which the squad disappointed after so much investment. The fix, according to Mauro Suma – a well-known journalist close to Milan – was to bid €120m for the Serbia international, but Lazio president Claudio Lotito said no.
Milinkovic-Savic has 48 goals and 39 assists for Lazio in 249 games for the capital club, where he has now been for over half a decade having joined back in 2015.

Too overrated. Mediocre 80 percent of season. Trash 19 percent of times. And plays extremely good couple of days per year. Usually on cup clashes. Then back to mediocrity again.
No idea why he has this price tag.
