Manchester United told to pay £105 million to sign midfield target - reports

Manchester United have reportedly been asked to pay a massive fee of £105 million if they want to buy Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Erik ten Hag's side have been keen on reinforcing their midfield since the end of last season. They have already signed Casemiro from Real Madrid over the summer transfer window for a fee of £60 million.

The Red Devils have now set their sights on Lazio star Milinkovic-Savic. The Serbian has been in superb form for the Serie A side, scoring four goals and providing seven assists in 12 games in all competitions so far this season.

Since joining the club from KRC Genk in 2015, he has scored 62 goals and provided 59 assists in 306 games for the Italian side.

Juventus and Manchester United are interested in pursuing the player's signature in January but might have to spend a big amount for the Serbian.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito recently said that the player's price is going up every month as he quoted a massive asking sum for Milinkovic-Savic.

While talking to II Messaggero, Lotitio said (via The Daily Mail):

"I have no agreement with his agent [Mateja] Kezman to sell him to Juventus or anyone else in the winter. On the contrary, he is now worth €120m [£105m], not €100m [£88m]. Every month the price goes up."
