LIVERPOOL could attempt to sign Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio this summer, according to reports.
Jurgen Klopp is determined to strengthen his midfield when the transfer window opens next month.
And Milinkovic-Savic, 28, has emerged as a key transfer target.
According to Italian outlet CalcioMercato, the Reds could sign the Serbia international for as little as £22.5million this summer.
Milinkovic-Savic will enter the final year of his contract in June and he is not expected to renew.
