According to reports in the French media, Chelsea have made contact with the agent of Lazio attacking midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
It is claimed that coach Claude Makelele has held talks with Mateja Kezman, his former Blues teammate, who now represents Milinkovic-Savic.
Lazio have stated in recent weeks that Milinkovic-Savic could be sold for the right price, but there is believed to be competition for the Serbian playmaker’s signature.
Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in the 25-year-old while the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City have been linked with the player in the past.
Milinkovic-Savic would probably cost a similar amount to Kai Havertz and if you look at the numbers, the Serbian doesn’t compare particularly favourably.
