Liverpool 'contact Lazio over Sergej Milinkovic-Savic deal'

Liverpool have reportedly been in contact with Lazio over a possible move for midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The 26-year-old enjoyed another impressive campaign last time out for the Italian side, scoring and assisting a combined 17 goals in Serie A.

Milinkovic-Savic is no stranger to being linked with a move to the Premier League, having long been considered a target for Manchester United.

According to Calciomercato, Liverpool are also now showing interest in the Serbia international ahead of the new season.

The report claims that the Reds have made calls to Lazio to ascertain how much the Biancocelesti are after for Milinkovic-Savic.

However, it is also suggested that Jurgen Klopp's side are not prepared to overpay for the midfielder, who is believed to carry a €70m (£60m) valuation.
