Milinkovic-Savic plays down Juventus speculation
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic refused to be drawn on speculation surrounding his club future with Lazio after Serbia's defeat to Switzerland.
Lazio's Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has refused to be drawn on his club future, amid reports linking the midfielder with a move away from the Stadio Olimpico.
Milinkovic-Savic is widely regarded to be one of the most exciting prospects in European football with a host of tops clubs looking to secure his signature for the 2018-19 season.
The 23-year-old is currently on World Cup duty with Serbia, who suffered a 2-1 defeat to Switzerland on Saturday, but wouldn't address any transfer speculation in the post-match.
"I'm thinking only of the national team, not the transfer market," he told Premium Sport.
"Juventus? I can smile, but I have to think solely about the World Cup. Then we'll see."
Serbia need to win against Brazil in their final Group E fixture to advance to the knockout rounds in Russia.
