The transfer fee for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is reportedly €40 million for both Arsenal and Newcastle United. Despite entering the last year of his contract, the Lazio player has had no bids from the Premier League. It seems like Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s time at Lazio has come to an end, with a summer transfer seemingly in store for the star midfielder. The Serbian player is entering the last year of his contract with the Serie A club. This might pave the way for him to pursue other opportunities.
It was believed that Juventus is interested in the midfield dynamo but would not spend more than €25 million. Lazio is not satisfied with this price. Milinkovic-Savic’s agent Mateja Kezman has said that he will get bids of at least €40 million from Premier League clubs.
What’s the matter?
Several Premier League clubs are interested in the Serbian. But it is unclear whether or not they are willing to spend €40 million for his services. While the budget is comparable to that of English clubs, it’s possible that they wouldn’t provide a large transfer fee for a player with a year remaining on his current deal.
For some time now, Arsenal has been said to be interested in making a deal for this player. Mikel Arteta does not want to sign the Serie A midfield juggernaut this summer. The Spaniard wants to add at least two new midfielders. The Serbian might provide competition for those spots.
It’s possible that Arsenal and Newcastle United are waiting for Lazio to lower their asking price before making an approach for Milinkovic-Savic. The Magpies are looking to add some flair to their offence, so they can sign a playmaker. James Maddison is still said to be joining them. However, a move to Leicester City is by no means certain. Therefore, they monitor a number of players, including the Serie A midfielder’s performance. The Serbian, though, may be secondary to more desirable objectives.

Arsenal and Newcastle United have yet to make offers for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, despite Lazio’s asking price of at least €40 million
Therefore, there is no assurance that Arsenal or Newcastle will make serious approaches, much less an offer of €40 million for Milinkovic-Savic. The issue remains, though, as to whether the Lazio star will move to the Premier League. The scale of Arsenal’s future success may be decided during the forthcoming summer transfer window. Even if Manchester City ends up winning the Premier League this season, Arsenal’s improvement over the last year is noteworthy. If they can continue that trend by making some key additions in the offseason, they may be able to maintain their position at the top for a while.
Mikel Arteta and Edu have prioritized bolstering their midfield over their defence. We have learned that midfielder Declan Rice is the primary target. Moreover, defensive alternatives include Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace and Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen.
