Man Utd, Barcelona target Milinkovic-Savic insists he won't force Lazio exit

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic expects himself to stay with Lazio.

The midfielder is linked with the likes of Manchester United, Inter, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Juventus and Manchester City.

“I had a year to remember," he told Novosti. “I would like the same success in 2018 as well. There are so many challenges, but before every training session and every game, I tell myself this is the ideal day to get even better. I want to make as much progress as I can in the year ahead."

However, that does not necessarily mean progressing to a different club.

“I am focused only on Lazio. This season, Serie A has improved significantly, as you can see by the fact all the clubs are still in the Champions League or Europa League.

“As a club, we have a clear goal of a top four position, because that gives qualification to the Champions League from next season. That is a really big challenge.

“I am not thinking about leaving Lazio, because I am currently very happy in Rome."
