SERGEJ MILINKOVIC-SAVIC

Real Madrid have moved ahead of Manchester United in the race to sign the Lazio midfielder, Rome-based newspaper Il Messaggero reports.

The Serbian World Cup star has been on Los Blancos’ radar for a while, however, the Red Devils were thought to be in pole position to clinch a deal for the 23-year-old.

But, Real have made the former Genk man one of their top summer signings as they seek to replenish their engine room ahead of a new dawn following Zinedine Zidane‘s departure.

Lazio are resigned to losing their best player, although a sweetener of a transfer fee in the region of £88m (Dh433m) would stabilise the Serie A side’s finances.

Wanted man: Milinkovic-Savic.

 

RADJA NAINGGOLAN

Inter Milan will ward off interest from Chelsea in the race to sign the in-demand Roma talent this summer, according to Tuttosport.

The Belgian international, who was controversially left out of Roberto Martinez’s World Cup squad, has reportedly agreed a deal with the San Siro side.

A switch to the Nerazzurri would give the 30-year-old the chance to link-up with coach Luciano Spalletti, the man he previously played under at the Stadio Olimpico.

Nainggolan, who in the past has revealed his desire to play in the Premier League, is now content to continue to ply his trade in Italy.

Midfield hardman: Radja Nainggolan.
