Arsenal want Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and could make their move for the Lazio midfielder ‘soon’ ahead of the summer transfer window.
That’s according to Tuttomercatoweb, who claim that Milinkovic-Savic has a new contract offer on the table.
However, Milinkovic-Savic has yet to decide on whether he wants to accept the terms on offer, leaving the door open to an exit.
It’s added that Arsenal are interested in Milinkovic-Savic and ‘could soon move’ to bring him to North London this summer.
Milinkovic-Savic is out of contract in 2024 and his value on the transfer market will be dwindling as he nears becoming a free agent.
If Lazio can’t convince Milinkovic-Savic to sign a new deal, they may well be forced to sell the midfielder this summer.
That could play right into Arsenal’s hands as they attempt to secure something of a bargain for the Serbian midfielder.
