Lotito has always demanded more than €100m for his star man, even demanding €150m prior to the Coronavirus pandemic.
This has scared off clubs, including his biggest admirers of recent seasons Man Utd.
Lotito is now prepared to lower his asking price and sell ‘SMS’ if he receives an €80m bid, according to Sky Sport Italia.
This is because at the age of 27, Lotito knows that his transfer fee will only decrease from here.
Milinkovic-Savic himself is also keen to finally join an elite club and would be happy to move to either United, PSG or Juventus.
The Serbian is enjoying another fantastic season in 2021-22, having hit double figures for both goals (10) and assists (11) in Serie A.
Since joining Lazio from Gent in 2015, he has scored 57 goals in 291 games, winning a Coppa Italia and two Italian Super Cups.
He has scored five goals in 30 games for Serbia.
