Lazio chief Igli Tare says they've rejected a huge offer for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The midfielder is being linked with Manchester United and Manchester City this week.

“Over the summer we received, and rejected, an offer worth €70m for Milinkovic-Savic," Tare told Mediaset Premium.

“We want to make Lazio a point of arrival for players rather than a stepping stone to bigger clubs. We have a lot of work to do, but that is our objective.

“The team was built to achieve certain objectives and from now until the end of the season, there will be no more transfer market distractions. Rumours in the media are part of the profession and you must learn to live with them.

“We want to win the Coppa Italia and qualify for the Champions League. We won't snub the Europa League, but the principle target must be a top four finish in Serie A."
