Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is not for sale, according to Lazio president Claudio Lotito.
''I’m not gonna sell Sergej, it’s not in my plans. I will offer him a new long term deal,'' Lotito told Italian outlet Il Messaggero.
''Milinković-Savić is worth €120m — and then every month the price increases.''

He enjoyed the most productive season of his career under Maurizio Sarri in 2021-22, scoring 11 goals and assisting a further 10 in 37 league appearances.
And the 27-year-old has registered three goals and seven assists in 11 Serie A games this campaign.

''The problem there is that if Manchester United move, it might finally prompt Arsenal to enter into the race.
''United under Rangnick also looked at Ruben Neves, but Wolves don’t really want to lose the player.
''Someone like Fabian Ruiz could come into the mix as well.''
