Parolo says whoever signs Milinkovic-Savic is getting ‘a bargain’

Former Lazio midfielder Marco Parolo has said that whichever team signs Sergej Milinkovic-Savic will be getting a bargain due to the quality of the midfielder. 

Speaking during an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport (via SempreMilan.it), Parolo discussed the player that has been linked with a transfer to AC Milan recently.

The Serbian midfielder has been one of the best players in Serie A for many years and has seemingly been close to leaving Lazio every summer.

He has now been linked with a move to the Rossoneri and Parolo feels that the team would need to adapt to fit him in, rather than assuming he can just perform in their existing system.

“Milinkovic-Savic? Should he arrive, the Rossoneri would have to adapt to him. Pioli would play him as a trequartista,” he said.

Negatively for Milan, he also suggested that he does not expect Milinkovic-Savic to leave the Biancocelesti this summer, but if he does, the buyers would be getting what he describes as a bargain.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if he stays. He and Lazio have become great together and he has never put his foot down to leave. But if he wants to make the leap the moment is now. What has he changed into? Now he’s in charge in the middle, he deserves to play Champions League every year. Whoever buys him is getting a bargain,” Parolo said.
