Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

Also have to believe Lazio would much rather deal him outside of the league.

I believe that's what they did with Keita. Not that it helped us! Think Juve have their work cut out to be honest.

 

[nikojev]

Doesn't the Lazio owner hate juve?

Juve doesn't have the same financial muscles as utd and real, but they did stump up €90 million for Higuain.

I just hope he doesn't end up at utd, because he's an incredible player.

Type of player we need if we are gonna kick on and challenge for the title next season- would much rather a signing like this that would improve the first team, than three 30 mil squad players.

If ever there was a player who fits the exact mould of what we need to make the step up, it would be this guy.

Judging by who else we’re linked with, we’re not after this type of quality for the CM spot sadly and would rather spend on a position we have zero need for. Why? I dont know but its worrying.

We aren’t in for this type of quality at any position. He’s gonna go for 100M.

I bet he doesnt.

It'll be to Juve in one of those odd 2 year loan deals.

United already have Matic his fellow countryman, that might lean him towards them. But I guess he wants to play in Pogbas role.

Seems to me likely that Pogba is off after the World Cup as he hasn’t said he is staying despite the opportunity to do so.

Man Utd just bought Fred, they really don't need Savic as well. Maybe if they sold Pogba. But I don't see that happening yet. They will turn their attention to a right winger and defender IMO.

Oh forgot about that you are absolutely correct, even if logic and what they really need do not apply to United. I guess that leaves Real as the most realistic destination.

Or none at all? If no one is willing to meet the price he will simply stay at Lazio I would have thought. Has he kicked up a fuss or something?

 

[SpartanSpur]

I'd be a bit concerned about the part where he demanded to play #10 for Serbia and fell out with the coach, but I guess with two decent DMs in Matic and Milojevic he might as well be used there.

Do think he's too expensive though. Something tells me Bale would be even more likely!

I can see him being the trigger for summers window. Whoever signs him then will prolly need to shift someone, whether it's pogba, or pjanic.

If Barcelona do sign Thiago for big money then I wouldn't be surprised if Bayern made a big time move for him.

No chance he comes to us though, unfortunately.

Bayern?!

This has already been said ad nauseum I feel but Bayern don’t really spend money. Their record transfer is 35 million. Typically they poach players out of their own league on free transfers or in the last year of their deal.

Basically a 0% chance they spend 100million on someone like Milinkovic-Savic.

Rumour says SMS will probably go to Juventus. Perhaps sell Pjanic?

Rumour doesn't often get it right

You're probably right. I did preface it by saying if they sold Thiago though, plus potentially Lewandowski.

Clubs are breaking their transfer records constantly now due to the Neymar watershed moment last year and the changing times. £35m doesn't cut it these days and every club is aware of that.

It's a shame we couldn't offer 55 mil, Dembele and maybe an extra 5 mil for winning the league and another 5 mil for winning the CL for this kid. Or something like this. I understand not wanting to spend 80 odd mil on anyone, but some sort of partial swap.
