Manchester United 'will test Lazio's resolve with an offer of £42million for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic' as Erik ten Hag looks for alternatives to Frenkie de Jong.
With hopes of signing the Barcelona midfielder fading quickly, United are expected to move to their No 2 target of the 27-year-old Serbia international.
Lazio president Claudio Lotito, however, is expected to hold out for a price closer to £59m for Milinkovic-Savic.
Italian newspaper Messagero report that the player's agent is expected to present Lazio with an offer they can't refuse from United by the beginning of August.
