Juventus is reportedly preparing to make a move for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian giants are said to be eyeing the Serbian as a potential replacement for Adrien Rabiot, should the Frenchman refuse to renew his contract.
Juventus offered Adrien Rabiot to extend his contract for another year at his current salary, but so far he has not given an answer with various clubs interested to secure his services.
Milinkovic-Savic is a player who has caught the eye of Juventus manager Massimiliano Allegri, and with just one year left on his contract with Lazio, his price has reportedly dropped significantly after he refused to renew his contract.
It is believed that a fee of €30m would be enough to secure his services, but Juventus is looking to further reduce the price by including one or both of their players, Pellegrini and Rovella, in the deal.
Pellegrini is currently on loan at Lazio from Juventus, while Rovella is expected to return to the Turin club after a loan spell at Genoa.
Juventus is hoping that the inclusion of one or both of these players in the deal will help to bring down the price for Milinkovic-Savic whose contract with Lazio is due to expire next season.
The 28-year-old midfielder was directly involved in 17 goals in 36 appearances for Lazio in Serie A last season, scoring nine goals and providing eight assists.
