Man Utd Transfer News: Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is about to join Manchester United on an €80 million transfer, and his wages are revealed.
Manchester United are stepping near to hire the services of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio this summer, as the Red Devils are ready to meet the demands of the Italian club.
It has been revealed, according to a report by the Gazzetta Dello Sport, Manchester United are near to complete the €80 million move for the Serbian International, and set to give him an annual wage of €6 million per year at Old Trafford after both the parties agreed personal terms.
It is further reported that Milinkovic Savic is expected to sign a five-year contract with the Red Devils, as the agent of the the 24-year-old midfielder is reportedly in England to finalize a deal with Manchester United.
On the other hand, the English giants were also after Bruno Fernandes, but recent events have indicated that Manchester United are allegedly losing interest in the Portuguese sensation.
Ole Solskjaer was in a severe need of hiring a quality midfielder this summer, as he has already lost Ander Herrera on a free transfer to PSG, and are unsure of Paul Pogba’s future at the club.
Thus, the hierarchy at the club want to get an adequate replacement as early possible, which makes Milinkovic Savic as a viable option, as he also plays at the same position.
With Manchester United closing on to the Serbian midfielder, it could be the final transfer of this transfer window before it ends in less than two weeks.
Now, an official announcement by both the clubs are required to confirm these speculations.
