In an unexpected turn of events, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s name has reappeared on Juventus’ radar, hinting at a potential return to the Serie A giants, reports TuttoSport.
Despite sealing a move to Saudi Arabia with Al Hilal, recent reports suggest that the powerful midfielder is growing discontented with his current footballing venture and may express the desire to terminate it at the end of the season.
Juventus had previously pursued Milinkovic-Savic last summer, positioning themselves as frontrunners for the deal. However, a staggering offer of €20 million per season swayed the Serbian midfielder towards the Saudi destination.
Now, indications from those close to his entourage hint at Milinkovic-Savic already expressing the wish to conclude his Saudi adventure.
This development hasn’t gone unnoticed by Juventus, particularly Massimiliano Allegri, who has harbored an interest in the midfielder for several years, dating back to his first stint in Turin.
If the rumors of discontent are substantiated, Tuttosport reports that Juventus could reinitiate negotiations to bring Sergej Milinkovic-Savic back to the club at the end of the season.
The potential return of Milinkovic-Savic to Juventus adds an intriguing subplot to the upcoming transfer window, with Allegri keen on bolstering his squad with the powerful midfielder’s skill set.
