"We'll see what happens but, for now, what matters is that he's growing under [Simone] Inzaghi, who's a great coach.

"Right now, Milinkovic-Savic is happy to continue his adventure in Rome with Lazio. Igli Tare is sometimes criticised, but he's done a great job.

"He signed some great players and sold those that weren't happy at extraordinary prices; now Lazio's bench is better and they can fight to finish in the top two and win the Europa League."
