But with the arrival of new manager Maurizio Sarri, it’s difficult to imagine Lazio parting ways with their best player.
Milinkovic-Savic, who is valued at a whopping €70 million by Transfermarkt, is one of the brightest stars in Serie A and will not come without a premium transfer fee going in the other direction.
Liverpool don’t have a reputation of splashing the cash on just one player, and certainly not without a significant outgoing of their own.
The last time the Reds splurged on players was with the signings of Virgil van Dijk and Alisson in the wake of Philippe Coutinho’s high-profile transfer to Barcelona in 2018.
