Sergej Milinkovic-Savic might be heading back to Italy as his contract with Al-Hilal approaches its end next summer – www.isagoal.com reports.
The Serbian midfielder left Lazio for Saudi Arabia in 2023, but speculation about a European comeback has never disappeared, with Italian heavyweights keeping close watch.
According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, speaking via LaLazioSiamoNoi, the 30-year-old is evaluating options that could see him leave the Saudi Pro League at the conclusion of his current deal.
During his time in Riyadh, Milinkovic-Savic became a central figure for Al-Hilal, earning recognition in the Team of the Season across two consecutive campaigns.
Clubs like Juventus, Inter, and AC Milan have made approaches in the past, yet Al-Hilal consistently refused to sanction a transfer while he was under contract.
The major hurdle for Serie A clubs remains financial, as wages offered in Italy cannot match the lucrative sums available in Saudi Arabia.
Reports suggest the only way a deal materializes is if Milinkovic-Savic accepts a significant reduction in salary, a decision that will weigh heavily on his next move.
Still, for a player who once lit up Lazio’s midfield, a Serie A return remains a strong possibility and one that would excite fans across Italy.
