The agent of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has revealed the Lazio midfielder wants to join Manchester United this summer, with Tottenham also reportedly interested in a transfer.
Milinkovic-Savic has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Europe over the course of his Lazio career and has produced another strong campaign this season.
In 34 Serie A appearances, the Serbia international has recorded 10 goals and 11 assists (Transfermarkt) to help keep Lazio in contention for a European spot next term.
He is contracted at the Stadio Olimpico until 2024, but a movement towards the end of his deal could see the Italian side cash in on him in this summer’s transfer window (CalcioMercato).
Milinkovic-Savic’s strong displays have captured Tottenham’s interest according to La Lazio Siamo Noi, who claimed that Antonio Conte and Fabio Paratici are extremely keen on the 27-year-old and would consider a bid if they qualify for the Champions League.
But Spurs may have a challenge on their hands to sign the Lazio star, with his agent Mateja Kezman revealing United and Paris Saint-Germain are currently leading the chase to sign his client.
Former Chelsea striker Kezman also explained Milinkovic-Savic has named the Red Devils as his prime destination and is eyeing a move to Old Trafford ahead of the new campaign.

Spurs Web Opinion
Milinkovic-Savic would be a dream player to bring in at Tottenham as he ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to a midfield option.
But his services, despite having two years remaining on his current deal, will have to come at a premium as Lazio will not be looking to lose him for a fraction of what he’s worth. It will also be tough for Spurs to acquire him now that he has named United as his ideal destination.
