Man Utd transfer news: Claims emerge of possible £138MILLION signing before window shuts
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly trying to rush through a deal for Lazio midfielder Serej Milinkovic-Savic that could top £138million.
And with Barcelona upping their efforts to sign the World Cup winner over the last 24 hours, Mourinho is apparently open to signing Milinkovic-Savic.
That is according to Italian outlet Calico Mercato, who say United also face competition from Real Madrid.
Los Blancos could sell Luka Modric to Inter Milan and want Milinkovic-Savic to be his replacement.
The 2018 Champions League winners are thought to have had a €100m (£89m) bid turned down for the Serbian.

Calcio Mercato report the Serie A side are holding out for a figure closer to €155 (£138m).
The midfielder’s agent and former Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman is keen for his client to move to a top club.
But it is yet to be seen if United can pip Real to his signature.
