Real Madrid, particularly, were heavily linked with a move for the Lazio midfielder in the summer of 2020, with reports claiming the Serb was their primary replacement for the aging Luka Modric.
However, a deal failed to materialize, as the Spanish giants opted out of a bid for the Lazio star.
Serej Milinkovic Savic has now stirred up rumors of a potential switch to the Galacticos when he made a bold comment over his love for Real Madrid.
Speaking as the guest appearance on “Evening with Ivan Ivanović”, a show on Serbian channel TV Nova, the 25-year-old discussed his desire to play Real Madrid, or at least play against them.
The 24-year-old revealed his love and admiration for the La Liga champions while stating he would love to put on the Madrid shirt someday.
Milinkovic-Savic continues to impress Real Madrid with superb performances this season
Real Madrid were keen on snapping up Milinkovic Savic from Lazio last summer, after the Serbian thrilled the Serie A with seven goals and four assists from the center of the park.
However, interest from the Galacticos fizzled out after Lazio’s president slapped a hefty price tag on the midfielder in a bid to keep him at the club.
The club president, Claudio Lotito, revealed he had rejected an offer of about £110m from an unknown club for the ex-Genk star, and Real Madrid would have to beat that fee to secure his service.
While Real Madrid’s interest might have taken a dip, the 25-year-old’s impressive outings could attract the Spanish giants once more, as they search for a replacement for the veteran duo of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric.
Milinkovic-Savic has scored four goals and provided five assists in the Serie A this season, as fifth-placed Lazio push for Champions League qualification.
