Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has long been a standout figure in European football, leaving a lasting mark on Serie A during his years with Lazio. Alongside his brother Vanja, who is excelling at Torino and attracting interest from clubs such as Napoli and Manchester United, Sergej has become a household name in Italian football.
Calciomercato report how, despite being courted by top European clubs throughout his career, Milinkovic-Savic never made the leap to a continental giant. Instead, he chose a new challenge in Saudi Arabia with Al-Hilal, where he has continued to impress. This season, he has scored 10 goals in 26 appearances, demonstrating his ongoing quality and adaptability on the pitch.
Milinkovic-Savic has quickly found his footing in Saudi Arabia, enjoying both his football and the environment. His integration has been smooth, and he has not expressed a desire to leave, not even when intermediaries attempted to orchestrate a sensational return to Lazio during the January transfer window. Talks took place but ultimately did not progress beyond initial discussions.
Now 30 years old, Milinkovic-Savic remains in excellent physical and mental condition. While he is a key player for Al-Hilal, the club does not consider him untouchable. Reports suggest that Al-Hilal would consider offers in the region of €22-23 million, potentially opening the door for a return to Italy or a move elsewhere in Europe.
