According to reports from Italy, Manchester United have reached a verbal agreement with Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Matija Kezman, the midfielder’s agent, is currently rumoured to be in London to hold talks over further steps.
The Red Devils view the Serbian as the perfect man to replace Paul Pogba at Old Trafford. The French midfielder has been linked with a move out of the club, with Real Madrid keen on his signature.
United have slapped a £150m price tag on Pogba and will move for Savic only if the Frenchman leaves the club.
Both Manchester United and Lazio are yet to agree on a fee for Savic, with his parent club asking for £80m. Kezman will remain in London to see how the Pogba situation develops.
It is said that the 24-year-old will earn just above £100k per week if he comes to Old Trafford. The Lazio star has become a mainstay at the club since joining from Genk in 2015.
Manchester United are currently set to face Kristiansund in their next pre-season game in Norway.
