Manchester United have reportedly been told the price they will have to pay for Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as he becomes 'ready' for a move.
The Serbian midfielder has been frequently linked with a move to the Premier League and Old Trafford in particular, with this summer set to be no different. United have already identified their midfield as their 'biggest problem' ahead of the transfer window, with Declan Rice, Aurelien Tchouameni and Amadou Haidara all linked.
Corriere dello Sport (via Football Italia) report that Lazio will accept no less than €60m (£50m) with the likelihood of a push closer to €65m-€70m (£54m-£58m). It has been said that Milinkovic-Savic's agent, Mateja Kezman, is holding conversations with English clubs and United are in 'pole position'.

Meanwhile, United's pursuit of Barcelona's Ronald Araujo is said to be intensifying. The central defender is set to become a free agent in the summer if fresh terms aren't agreed, though some outlets have recently reported that the youngster is on the verge of signing a new deal at Camp Nou.
Despite talk of Araujo having agreed to stay at Barca, Estadio Deportivo report that a 'dizzying' offer has been made by United. The club could be set to attempt to strengthen their defensive options this summer, despite the arrival of Champions League winner Raphael Varane last year.
