Manchester United reportedly identify Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba this summer.

Manchester United have reportedly identified Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as a potential replacement for Paul Pogba this summer.

Milinkovic-Savic, 27, has been with the Serie A outfit since 2015 and has recorded 56 goals and 50 assists in 289 appearances across all competitions.

Pogba, meanwhile, is set to leave Old Trafford at the end of the season as the 29-year-old has less than three months remaining on his contract and there are no signs to suggest that he will extend his deal.

According to Calciomercato, United have a "strong and confirmed" interest in signing Milinkovic-Savic this summer, and Lazio are prepared to sell the midfielder if he decides against extending his contract beyond June 2024.

The report adds that Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are also in the race for the Serbian's signature and the latter have been in contact with the player's agent Mateja Kezman.

Tottenham Hotspur have also been credited with an interest in Milinkovic-Savic, who is believed to be valued by Lazio at around €80m (£67.4m).
