The football world has been left stunned this summer as Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Crescent continues to make waves with its immense financial power. The allure of the Saudi currency has proved irresistible, as many stars from the top five major leagues find themselves unable to resist the kingdom’s lucrative offers. Now, it seems that Lazio’s prized midfielder, Milinkovic, is the latest player set to join the Saudi team.
According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, the 28-year-old Serbian midfielder is on the verge of sealing a move to Riyadh Crescent. In a bid to entice Milinkovic, the Saudi team has offered him an astonishing annual salary of 30 million euros after tax. The deal also includes a three-year contract and a 40 million euro offer to his current club, Lazio. Such an offer has proven too tempting for Milinkovic to turn down, especially considering he spent one year in Saudi Arabia and has represented Serie A for six years.
Milinkovic, who has just one year remaining on his current contract with Lazio, has shown no intentions of extending his stay at the Italian club. Consequently, Lazio is looking to cash in on the midfielder during the summer transfer window, placing a price tag of around 40 million euros on him. In Germany, Milinkovic is currently valued at 50 million euros. Although he initially had plans to join Juventus, the irresistible offer from Saudi Arabia has swayed him towards Riyadh Crescent.
From a professional player’s perspective, it is understandable for someone to change clubs for a significantly higher salary. Milinkovic, by joining Riyadh Crescent for three years, is ensured hefty earnings that could secure his retirement. At 31 years old, he will still be within the prime years of his career, offering him potential opportunities in Europe’s top five leagues.
