Manchester United have tabled a bid of €55m (£47m) for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to reports.
The midfielder has been chased by United for a number of weeks now with the 27-year-old said to be looking for a move to a more established European outfit. He recorded 11 goals and assists this season as Lazio finished fifth in Serie A.
Erik ten Hag is on the hunt for midfielders this summer with a plethora of United’s current crop set to leave next month when their contracts expire. Milinkovic-Savic is one of his targets and now an offer has been put to Lazio.
