Arsenal is interested in Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and they might get their man this month instead of waiting until summer.
Milinkovic-Savic is running down his contract at Lazio and the Italians are now looking to cash in on the Serbian as fast as they can.
The midfielder’s current deal runs out in 2024 and the ideal scenario would be to offload him at the end of this season for the right price.
However, a report on Tuttojuve reveals Lazio is open to sending him out on an initial loan this month if a suitor can pay 10m euros and make it permanent in the summer for around 60m euros.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Milinkovic-Savic is a terrific midfielder and has proven to be a fine player in the Lazio squad over the last few seasons.
However, spending 10m euros for a six-month loan deal makes no sense, even if we intend to add him to our squad permanently.
It is much smarter to wait and sign him in the summer when he would have just 12 months left on his deal and his market value would have fallen.
There are other midfielders on the market that the Gunners can sign for free or even a smaller fee if they wait until the summer.

10 million loan is fine if the obligation to buy is less than that quoted 60 million.
i heard it was 10m euro with obligation to buy for 30m euro in the summer.
I would take that if its true and we can financially after Mudryk
But the issue is, should Arsenal take the risk to wait till next summer window before they sign a new top quality defensive midfielder before they’ll reinforced their midfield options?
Which from the indication on ground in the Aesenal midfield at this juncture in the campaign this season. Arsenal ought to sign one this current winter window.
So therefore, if the Lazio Dmf Milimkovic Savic fits the bill in all ramifications of top quality Dmf for the Gunners midfield.
And Arteta wants him this winter to boolster his midfield options to higher level that’s currently obtained in the position.
Neverthelessm Arsenal could this winter window sign Milimkovic Savic. But after due diligent negotiations with Lazio that will see their loan asking price this winter, and permanent deal signing fee next summer significantly reduced to affordable fee charged, that Arsenal can pay.
Signing Savic will helps calm my nerves on this Madryk deal.
