Manchester United shouldn't waste their time with the Frenkie de Jong deal if they are still having problems on finishing up the agreement. Because the season is almost upon us as there are two weeks to go. Their second option is Milinkovic-Savic indeed. I don't know how much willing Lazio are to sell one of their most valuable players. I wonder how much they ask for him. Manchester United were ready to pay more than 80 million euros for de Jong so they should be planning the same at least for Milinkovic-Savic as well.
I believe, they will definitely release frenkie de Jong to Manchester united because many teams that wish to have him in their team don't have such amount of money Manchester united what to sign him in this season. Manchester united coach prefer frenkie de Jong than milinkovic-savic that is why he don't what to give up on frenkie de Jong in this season than to do everything possible within his power to bring him into the team. Manchester united will definitely increase higher in next season with those potential squads they have successfully brought into the team.
Man United will not give up so easily to convince De Jong to leave Barcelona. Because since Erik ten Hag became Man United coach, Frenkie De Jong
was Man United's main target in this summer's transfer market. Moreover, Barcelona and Man United have agreed on the transfer fee for De Jong's
move, meaning that Man United only needs to convince De Jong to move. But it looks like the chances of Man United convincing De Jong to want to
join are increasingly impossible, after bad news that Xavi managed to convince De Jong to agree to a 50% pay cut if he wanted to stay at Barcelona.
In addition, Xavi is also rumored to want to keep De Jong in the 2022/2023 season. Although it is not yet official for De Jong to receive a pay cut
from Barcelona, Man United feels need to look for other alternatives.
According to the Italian Football report, Man United is now trying to target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic who is a mainstay midfielder from Lazio. In fact,
Man United had in the past made an offer of 100 million euros to get Milinkovic-Savic, unfortunately at that time Cladio Lolito refused the offer.
Milinkovic-Savic has been an important figure in the Lazio squad since 2015, and until now a player who has a big contribution to Lazio. So far
Milinkovic-Savic has played 294 in various competitions, with 58 goals and 51 assists, that's a remarkable record for a midfielder.
It doesn't seem like it will be easy for Man United to get Milinkovic-Savic, it is possible that Lazio will again refuse an offer from Man United.
