Manchester United 'suffer blow in Sergej Milinkovic-Savic pursuit'

Lazio have reportedly made it clear to interested clubs that they are not willing to sell key midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic during this summer's transfer window.

The 25-year-old has been in impressive form for his Italian club during the 2019-20 campaign, contributing five goals and seven assists in 31 appearances in all competitions.

Manchester United had allegedly identified the Serbia international as a possible replacement for Paul Pogba as the speculation surrounding the 2018 World Cup winner's future continues.

However, according to Calciomercato, Lazio have made it clear that they will not be listening to offers for Milinkovic-Savic ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea have also been credited with an interest in a player who has a contract at Stadio Olimpico until the summer of 2024.

United, however, are believed to be lining up a move for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot.
