Lazio have already reportedly rejected a huge offer from Manchester United, and Real Madrid are claimed to be preparing a bid of around €150m to take Milinkovic-Savic to the Spanish capital.
And amidst all this there is talk of the other half of the Spanish big two considering signing the midfielder as according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are showing an interest in the Serbian.
The midfielder’s qualities are not alien to the Barcelona technical team and it has been claimed that the Catalan giants scouted Milinkovic-Savic a number of times last season.

They are aware of the interest from Real Madrid and know that they would have to dig deep into their pockets to lay their hands on the Lazio midfielder this summer.
