Juventus identify Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as backup target to Paul Pogba?

Juventus reportedly intend to move for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic if they fail to win the race for Paul Pogba.

In recent days, speculation has persisted over the Italian giants being the favourites to secure a reunion with Pogba, who will be available on a free transfer.

According to Calciomercato, Juventus' priority is to ensure that they agree terms with the Manchester United player, a contract worth £6.8m per year, plus bonuses, said to be on the table.

However, the report claims that club officials and boss Massimiliano Allegri have already identified Milinkovic-Savic as an alternative to the France international if a deal does not progress how they hope.

The Serbia international, who has spent the last seven years at Stadio Olimpico, could take on a new challenge this summer with United and Paris Saint-Germain said to be considering making an approach.

Juventus would allegedly free up space on their wage bill by parting ways with each of Arthur and Aaron Ramsey.
