French news site Le 10 Sport report United and City, as well as Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are keen on Milinkovic-Savic, whose agent is former Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman.

Lazio's sporting director Igli Tare recently confirmed the club had received several hug offers, but were under no pressure to sell.

He said: "We have received offers from him, some of which are way over £60million. However, none have come from Juventus.

"He signed a new contract six months ago and this means he's happy here."

Milinkovic-Savic is one of a number of top talents currently at Lazio.

However, Milinkovic-Savic is considered the player who really makes Simone Inzaghi's men tick, and is helping them mount an unlikely title challenge.

Last season, he ran the show in the famous 3-1 derby win — with Balde earning much of the credit due to his two goals.
