Longo: Milinkovic-Savic operation 'very difficult' but Milan are the 'first option' in Italy
"That is simply because Milinkovic-Savic earns a lot of money at Al-Hilal and that salary isn't within Milan's parameters, even if he were to come down a little. Furthermore, due to the recent contract renewal, you would expect the Saudi Arabian side to request at least a little bit in terms of transfer fees."
"it's clear that if Milinkovic-Savic were to tell Al-Hilal and his agents that he wants a return to Italy, then Milan would be the first option. The key figure in that sense is Tare, who signed the player back when he was at Lazio. The director still admires the Serbian a lot and believes that he could be a good addition to the team, even at this age."
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic joined Al-Hilal from Lazio in summer 2023 for €40m and recently renewed his contract after Simone Inzaghi's arrival. Despite links to a European return, particularly to AC Milan, the transfer remains challenging. Milinkovic-Savic's substantial Saudi Arabian salary exceeds Milan's financial parameters, and Al-Hilal would demand a transfer fee following his recent contract extension. However, Milan maintains an advantage through sporting director Igli Tare's established relationship with the player from their Lazio days. If Milinkovic-Savic expresses a desire to return to Italy, Milan would be his primary destination, as no other Serie A club possesses comparable appeal.
