Just when you thought Antonio Conte's trolley dash for the summer was complete, he's setting off on a second lap of his supermarket sweep.
After six new signings costing around £100 million, Conte still has £50m change left in the petty cash tin – and he coulld spend most of it on Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. According to Italian media outlet Calciomercatoweb, Conte is a big fan of the Serbian international and Spurs are lining up a £38m offer, rising to £50.7m with add-ons, for the 27-year-old.
Manchester United have been tracking the 6ft 2in powerhouse, whose contract at Lazio has two years left to run, but Milinkovic-Savic is believed to prefer Tottenham – who can offer Champions League football this season – if he is allowed to join an English club. Spurs would be prepared to offer a salary up to £5.2 million (£100,000-a-week).
