How much was Pogba sold for to Man United? Then Milinkovic-Savic is worth even more, because he’s much better.
Claudio Lotito on Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
“Sergej is the best young midfielder in the world, and he has a great margin for improvement,” Lotito said.
“However, so far, no one has come forward. I haven’t received any offers from Milan or Juventus, let alone from Real Madrid and Manchester United.
“I certainly won’t push to sell him, but if you ask me how much he is worth, then I need to remind you that last year I turned down €110m.

“Now rest assured, I’m not interested in loan formulas or technical counterparts.”

Man Utd transfer news: Paul Pogba is being linked with a move to Barcelona (Image: GETTY)
Milinkovic-Savic is an unbelievable talent says ESPN pundit
United’s decision to enter the bidding for Milinkovic-Savic could depend on Pogba with the Frenchman reportedly keen to leave for Barcelona.
Express Sport understands United are furious with Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, as he looks to negotiate a deal with the Catalan giants.
United have rejected out of hand a double player-plus-cash deal for Pogba from the Spanish club.
Their offer of £44.6million plus defender Yerry Mina and midfielder Andres Gomes was laughed off by United’s hierarchy – but they are not happy with Raiola for giving encouragement to Barca.
But United may have to look elsewhere to raise transfer funds with the club adamant the France World Cup winner remains a vital part of their plans despite his problems with Mourinho last season.
