According to reports, Milinković-Savić wishes to leave Lazio without causing ‘significant harm to the club’, and therefore prefers a transfer in the upcoming summer window, rather than leaving on a free in 2024.
The possibility of Lazio’s club president compelling him to stay for an additional year also exists, but that risks losing him for free.
While the player is reportedly keen on joining Real Madrid, there are no current links between the two parties.
Milinković-Savić was first linked to Arsenal around eight years ago when he was still with Genk, before he eventually moved to Lazio for €12m.
