Juventus are reportedly ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic during the summer transfer window.

Juventus are reportedly regarded as the most likely destination for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The Serbia international is nearing the end of his seventh campaign at Stadio Olimpico, where he has contributed 56 goals and 49 assists from 287 appearances.

While the 27-year-old possesses a contract until 2024, there is an inevitability about the player eventually taking on a new challenge, and it appears that could occur later this year.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Lazio are prepared to sell Milinkovic-Savic should they receive a bid in the region of €65m (£54.1m).

The report claims that talks have already taken place regarding a deal with Juventus having identified Milinkovic-Savic as a key target.

Manchester United have been monitoring any developments with the player for a number of years and could still attempt to hijack any negotiations with Juventus.
