Manchester United are confident they have a deal in place for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

While a fee with Lazio is yet to be settled, United intermediaries are convinced the Serbia international will sign before the World Cup.

Il Messaggero says Lazio president Claudio Lotito's initial asking price is for €150m - though that will fall as negotiations with United intensify.

Serbian media sources insist Milinkovic-Savic will sign for United - and the deal will go through in the coming weeks.

Key to the agreement is the player's agent Mateja Kezman, who is close to United boss Jose Mourinho.
