And ex-Chelsea star Kezman has confirmed some of Europe’s elite have been in contact about the Serbian and refused to rule out a switch in the future.

Kezman told Radio CRC: “There’s been a lot of interest from several clubs, such as those in Madrid, Manchester and Milan.

“But he wants to be happy, to play to keep growing and become one of the best in his role.

“It’s difficult to see him away from Lazio, where he has started the season very well, but I can’t rule out him leaving.”

Kezman did praise Lazio sporting director Igli Tare for his work at the Stadio Olimpico and believes he the club is moving in the right direction for success.

Kezman added: “If Milinkovic-Savic keeps this up, there will be plenty of contact from different clubs, like there was [in the recent transfer window].

“We’ll see what happens but, for now, what matters is that he’s growing under [Simone] Inzaghi, who’s a great coach.

“Right now, Milinkovic-Savic is happy to continue his adventure in Rome with Lazio. Igli Tare is sometimes criticised, but he’s done a great job.

“He signed some great players and sold those that weren’t happy at extraordinary prices; now Lazio’s bench is better and they can fight to finish in the top two and win the Europa League.”
