As recently admitted by Lazio sporting director, Igli Tare, AC Milan were very close to purchasing Milinkovic Savic for a record transfer fee of nearly €100 million. “Two years ago, we received a very important offer for Milinkovic-Savic in the last hours of the mercato. I raised my hands and left the ball to Lotito. It all depended on him. The president rejected the offer because he wanted to play in the Champions League”.
At that time negotiations were conducted by Leonardo and Maldini. AC Milan had offered 40 million to sign Milinkovic Savic initially on loan for two years and then pay an additional €60 million for his permanent transfer. Elliot were determined to invest 100 million for the Lazio star after having signed Higuain and Caldara earlier.
