Lazio will not stop Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from moving on to fulfil his ambitions at one of Europe s biggest clubs but the Serie A side have not received a concrete offer, according to president Claudio Lotito.
Milinkovic-Savic, 24, has been linked to Premier League giants Manchester United and Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Lazio are reportedly refusing to consider bids under €80million for star midfielder Milinkovic-Savic, who was the subject of strong interest prior to the 2018-19 season.
Amid ongoing speculation over Serbia international Milinkovic-Savic, Lotito told Sky Sport Italia: The important thing is that we have today built a club that is no longer just a stepping stone to bigger things, but many players dream of coming here.
Last year, I fought hard to ensure Milinkovic-Savic didn t leave. This season, I certainly have fewer weapons to call upon if the situation should arise again.
That doesn t mean the club is working actively to sell him. Certainly, Milinkovic-Savic on a personal level has other ambitions and that seems fair, so we won t clip his wings.
We understand it s important for a player to step up to one of the biggest clubs in the world. However, a player only has a price-tag when he is for sale and the transfer market is dictated by action, not words.
When a concrete proposal arrives, we ll examine it and see what the conditions are, whether they satisfy the club and the decisions we ll then make.
