Juventus eye Milinkovic-Savic: January return to Italy possible | OneFootball

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s future could bring him back to Serie A. The Serbian midfielder, born in 1995, currently at Al Hilal and nearing the end of his contract, has come under Juventus’s spotlight, as they see him as an ideal reinforcement for the midfield. Although no official negotiations have started yet, Tuttomercatoweb is beginning to suggest a return to Italy as early as the January window.

Serie A, Juventus tracking Milinkovic-Savic: Vanja is waiting for him

Milinkovic-Savic, known for his imposing physique and technical quality showcased especially during his years at Lazio, represents an interesting opportunity for the Bianconeri, who could also gain a financial advantage considering the player’s imminent contract expiry with the Saudi club. Juventus, always seeking balance and quality in midfield, considers him the main candidate to strengthen the department, especially with a demanding second half of the season ahead.

The most delicate issue remains his salary. Milinkovic-Savic currently earns 20 million euros per year, a prohibitive figure for any Italian club and even for most European teams, except for the top clubs. To make the deal feasible, the midfielder would have to accept a substantial pay cut, an essential condition to reach an agreement as early as January. The allure of Serie A, combined with the chance to play for a club with top-tier ambitions, could push Milinkovic-Savic to consider the proposal.
