Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham were all believed to have scouts watching Lazio’s Sergej Milinkovic-Savic during Lazio’s win over Genoa.
According to the Mirror, the Premier League trio were all keeping a watchful eye on the Serbian midfielder, who was heavily linked with the player throughout the summer transfer window.
Chelsea had previously been named among the favourites to sign the player when it looked like he could move on this summer.
The 23-year-old has been regarded as one of Europe’s hottest prospects over recent campaigns, with the Serbian becoming a regular in Lazio’s midfield since 2015.
However, the Italian giants are confident they can keep hold of their star player, who is currently contracted to Lazio up until 2022.
Milinkovic-Savic was strongly linked with a move to Manchester United and Juventus throughout the summer, but no deal ever materialised and he remained a Lazio player.
