Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has been linked to all and sundry this summer – now Lazio president Claudio Lotito is close to shutting down all the talk until next year.

According to Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Lazio have issued a Sunday deadline for any team interested in their star midfielder to put forward a concrete bid.

With the Premier League transfer window having come and gone, AC Milan are the latest club to have been connected with the Serbian.

But Lotito has long maintained that only an offer north of €120 million will tempt him to part with his man.
