Although sources have told CaughtOffside that Romeo Lavia or Moises Caicedo would be more of a priority for the west London giants, Chelsea likes Milinkovic-Savic and is prepared to consider him as a potential option to strengthen their midfield.
Other Premier League clubs have recently made Milinkovic-Savic an offer, but Kezman has reached out to his old team Chelsea in an effort to assist them in solving their midfield problems.
Since Mateo Kovacic and Mason Mount have recently left for Manchester City and Manchester United, respectively, there must be room in Mauricio Pochettino’s roster for a player like Milinkovic-Savic.
Even though a deal hasn’t happened yet, the Serbian international has had a very excellent career in Serie A and has long been associated with major Premier League clubs.
Although CaughtOffside is aware that Juventus is a potential option for Milinkovic-Savic, it appears the 28-year-old would also be open to a new challenge in English football.
The fact that Juventus has asked Lazio to decrease their €40 million asking price is a problem, therefore it would make sense for Kezman to look for potential owners who might be willing to pay more.
Since Todd Boehly took over the club, Chelsea have been major spenders, but they have a history of focusing on younger players on long-term terms. It is unclear if Milinkovic-Savic would fit into that strategy or if they might make an exception for him.
