The future of Sergej Milinkovic-Savic could soon be linked once again with Serie A. The Serbian midfielder is currently tied to Al-Hilal with a contract until June 2026, but an extension has yet to be agreed. This uncertainty has sparked interest from several Italian clubs, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Juventus, Milan and Inter all following developments closely.
Juventus Target
Juventus have long admired Milinkovic-Savic and consider him an ideal profile to strengthen their midfield with both quality and international experience. Should the midfielder refuse a renewal, the Bianconeri could make their move in the summer of 2026, taking advantage of a free agent opportunity, a strategy often successful in the club’s transfer history.
Another possibility is an early move in January 2026, with a transfer fee offered to Al-Hilal. Such an approach would allow Juventus to anticipate rivals and secure the Serbian before the competition intensifies, though at present no concrete steps have been taken.
The Inzaghi Factor
Milinkovic-Savic joined Al-Hilal in the summer of 2023 for €40 million and has since competed in a league on the rise. Yet his connection with Italy remains strong, where he shone with Lazio and was regarded as one of Europe’s top midfielders. Much will depend on Simone Inzaghi, recently appointed at Al-Hilal, whose close relationship with the player could prove crucial in persuading him to extend his Saudi adventure.
Juve Keep Monitoring
For now, Juventus continue to monitor the situation with keen interest. A free Milinkovic-Savic in 2026 would represent a rare market opportunity, and the club’s leadership know how decisive his arrival could be in giving Igor Tudor a midfielder ready to make an immediate impact.
