AC Milan and Inter are both keen on signing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio this summer but it will not be easy, a report claims.
According to today’s edition of Tuttosport (via SempreMilan.it), a mercato derby between Milan and Inter to get to Milinkovic-Savic could well ignite soon, given that the midfielder seems destined to leave Lazio.
However, Lazio president Claudio Lotito has no intention of granting any discounts – especially when potentially selling to a rival – and thus does not seem willing to lower the asking price from the current €30-35m.
It is a figure judged too high by the two Milanese teams especially considering the Serbia international has a contract expiring in 12 months which will not be renewed.
Among the possible solutions that could be adopted by Milan and Inter is the idea of inserting some counterparts to try to lower the economic demands of Claudio Lotito, but no names are mentioned.
Milinkovic-Savic cannot be signed through an ‘imaginative formula’ such as a loan with option or obligation to buy because his deal only has a year left. The Rossoneri and Nerazzurri are monitoring the situation, but are also evaluating other tracks.
Too bad, if we got 70m budget I believe it will be worth it to get him for 30-35m.
We have 70m euro budget but owner limited max 30 m euro for one player which make us cannot afford him . But i dont blame owner after the big failure of CDK 35m euro price
Leao is also failure for 2years in your thought then.
Pioli is the culprit for it, but the owner let him stay than Maldini
Crazy owners, crazy supporters
Leao score 6 goal in his first season with competitor rebic finalist world cup, and hakan . CDK 0 goal from 1470 minute with competitor incosistent brahim. You are the one that defended maldini so badly but blame coach. Maybe you want maldini become coach too
It seems we are at another year zero.
The mercato is upon us.
We fired our directors who had been lining up targets like Kamada etc in order to assemble our team early and avoid the mistakes of last summer.
Now those plans have been scrapped and we are starting from scratch again in mid June!!
With Maldini gone and no clear direction in terms of sporting goals and transfer budget, it’s hard to see good young players choosing Milan, let alone SMS who obviously wants a shot at the big time now.
Zlatan retired, Maldini fired, Silvio passed away. It’s like on a daily basis the soul of the once great Milan is floating away
Gerry’s dream is free and low cost players.
Players like Savic are a living nightmare for Cardinale.
Anyway ACM are living the American dream via Billy Jean or Beam whatever the name is.
Haha Jerry and the magic Beane. The guy was played by Brad Pitt. We should cheer for that and be grateful toward our wise and smart owner. Maybe he will find us some youngster able to hit some home runs with a baseball bat.
Unfortunately Redbirds & Cardinale thoughts and ideas about European football are funny…..The thing is with these jokers, we would be “crying” in the end with Milan’s downfall…
Yes I saw the movie. Good one actually…..

it’s Garry & magic bin
I will bet you that he will go to Juventus for 19m somehow…
That’s not how Juventus work – he’d go to Juve for ’80m’ and some random kid with ten minutes of first team football and a veteran player with an expiring contract will go to Lazio for ’60m’.
if anyone says that sms is too old for Milan, look at what people say about pirlo and what he can do after moving clubs.
it’s possible that the results could be different from Pirlo’s story and even the opposite, but I think he can still give more.
Yeah he’s only 28. “Too old” is just their waffle to say “too expensive and not reselable for profit”.
like Dybala, a world class no 10 and 28. why would we want them.
Moronball
it’s all about data, SMS is too old, his goal & assist is average, they need to sign someone like Bojan who scored more than Messi in la masia
i still dont understand how 30-35M€ is high. He is valued at 60M€.
Sell CDK, should fetch 20-25 add from budged and buy SMS. its foking worth it
good idea. or offer lazio cdk for sms
