# Manchester United reportedly leading race for Milinkovic-Savic

Manchester United are reportedly leading the race to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio this summer.

According to claims from French news outlet RMC Sport, as cited by [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/lazio-per-milinkovic-savic-e-in-pole-il-manchester-united-23103), the Red Devils have expressed the strongest interest in signing the Serbian international.

Milinkovic-Savic has been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in recent months but United were thought to have been put off by Lazio’s excessive valuation of their star man.

Simone Inzaghi’s side are reportedly demanding a sum of €100 million for the midfielder and if RMC are to be believed, United may actually be prepared to pay this despite earlier reports.

Milinkovic-Savic enjoyed a tremendous season in Italy and further established himself as one of Serie A’s most skilled midfielders.

Jose Mourinho wants to recruit a new central midfielder to strengthen his Manchester United side this summer and one of his primary targets appears to be Milinkovic-Savic.

United will be out to mount a more competitive title challenge next season and it’s seemingly hoped that the addition of Milinkovic-Savic would go some way in helping them to do this.
