Arsenal Transfer News: In anticipation of a possible summer move, reports indicate that Arsenal has made a proposal of roughly €40 million for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
Arsenal Transfer News: Arsenal reportedly offered almost €40 million to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to a report by Calciomercato. The Gunners are looking to add a new midfielder to compete with Granit Xhaka. Mikel Arteta is considering the Serb as one of his alternatives for the summer transfer window.
Mikel Arteta will be busy until the summer transfer market opens. There may also be newcomers to the Emirates. Arsenal is now in a strong position to win the Premier League, making their participation in the UEFA Champions League a near certainty. They lack the depth and quality of roster necessary to compete in Europe’s top league.
Leandro Trossard, Jakub Kiwior, and Jorginho were all great additions in January for Arsenal. Arteta will also seek to strengthen other departments. And this summer’s need to add midfield reinforcements is a must. Arteta would benefit from having a midfielder who is a certain kind and can help out in the final third. Even though he has altered Granit Xhaka’s role, which has resulted in several goals and assists in the early going of the season, he would want to see more competition for positions in that area.
Arsenal Transfer News: What’s the matter?
Recently, Fabio Vieira has been more heavily engaged, and the Portuguese star has often replaced Xhaka in the latter stages of games. Arteta may see the former FC Porto player in a different position, maybe to contend with Martin Odegaard. Thus freeing up cap space for new talent to challenge the Swiss captain. Since then, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has entered the picture.

The upcoming summer relocation was discussed. No team, however, would have been willing to pay Lazio’s asking price for the midfield dynamo. The Serb’s contract is set to expire in the summer, making him available to interested clubs like Arsenal and Newcastle United.

What’s next for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic?
The article claims that Milinkovic-agent, Savic’s Mateja Kezman, has already received bids for his client. Arsenal reportedly offered almost €40 million for the Serbian midfield dynamo. These ties have surfaced after reports that the Gunners are willing to extend Xhaka’s current deal.
By all appearances, Arteta will want to know for sure that his team is full of top-tier talent before the start of the new season. Some of the best players in the world, like Milinkovic-Savic, are required to compete in the Champions League.
It makes perfect sense to spend €40 million for a 28-year-old player in the last year of his contract. Lazio’s willingness to accept such figures is unclear. Although Milinkovic-Savic has spent many years in Serie A, he may be open to a transfer to the Premier League and the Gunners if the chance presents itself.
