AC Milan is after Milinkovic-Savic's signing in the summer

AC Milan has launched an ambitious plan to bring back an old Serie A acquaintance currently playing in the Saudi Arabian league. The "Rossoneri" management is looking to make a definitive quality leap in their midfield, with Sergej Milinković-Savić topping the priority list for the upcoming season.

After his successful spell at Lazio, the 31-year-old Serbian international emerged as one of the most dominant players on the continent, attracting persistent interest from San Siro. This move not only addresses a tactical need but also aims to build a dream midfield capable of competing with European powerhouses in the Champions League.

The Lombard club had previously attempted to secure his services, but the high financial demands from his time in Rome hindered an agreement that now seems to be entering a decisive phase. Milan believes that the experience and physical presence of the Balkan player are the missing ingredients to balance a squad that aims to regain its former national dominance.

The arrival of Massimiliano Allegri on the bench has been the final trigger to reactivate this operation that seemed dormant after the player's move to Al-Hilal. The Livorno-born coach is a professed admirer of the "Sergeant's" style of play and deems him the perfect piece to provide muscle and attacking prowess to his preferred system.

Milan dreams of pairing the Serbian with a living legend like Luka Modric, whom the management is trying to convince to extend his stay in Italy for another year. Allegri's vision is to create a formidable trio where the Croatian's technique merges with the aerial power and attacking threat of Milinković-Savić from deep midfield.

Despite the player's 31 years and his current campaign in Arabia, which showcases his goal-scoring instinct and assist prowess. In 23 league appearances with Al-Hilal, the Balkan player has scored four goals and provided four decisive passes, confirming his excellent current competitive form.

However, the financial aspect poses a significant challenge for Milan's leadership due to the astronomical salary the player earns in the Middle East. The midfielder recently extended his contract until 2028 with an annual salary of 20 million euros, a figure that would require the player to make an economic effort.

For Milan, the current market value of 15 million euros set by Transfermarkt represents an opportunity they cannot miss for such a high-caliber reinforcement. The Serbian international, with 54 matches and 9 goals for his national team, would bring the necessary leadership for tense European nights.

Allegri previously attempted to sign him during his Juventus tenure and now sees San Siro as the ideal setting to unleash the towering midfielder's tactical potential. The Serbian's versatility would allow the team to vary its offensive setup, leveraging his dominance in aerial play both in their own box and the opponents' during matches.

Milan's sports management is exploring creative solutions to fit the transfer within the financial control limits mandated by the regulatory authorities. Options being considered include performance-related bonuses and a contract extension to stagger the Balkan player's salary impact on the club's accounts.

The player's desire to compete again in European elite football after his time in Asia could be the decisive factor tipping the scale in favor of the Italians. Sergej understands that the spotlight at San Siro is perfect to stay on the radar of his national team for upcoming major international events.

AC Milan's fans eagerly await the outcome of negotiations that promise to redefine the squad for 2026. Milan is determined to make a statement in the market with a signing that rekindles hope in the stands and ensures competitiveness in every match.
