According to Spanish media "Fichajes", Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is preparing to spend 80 million euros to compete with Real Madrid for Lazio's 27-year-old midfielder Sergei Milinkovic-Savic.

It is predicted that this high offer made by PSG will attract Lazio to sell Savic. Such a situation is likely to allow Real Madrid, which originally closed the introduction plan this summer, to restart the introduction process and start a transfer battle with Paris Saint-Germain.
