LAZIO have slapped a whopping £105million price tag on Manchester United target Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
The Serbian midfielder’s contract expires at the end of next season and he is set for crunch talks with the Serie A side to discuss his future.
United, Liverpool and Juventus are all reportedly keen on signing the 27-year-old.
However, Lazio president Claudio Lotito has now insisted that Milinkovic-Savic’s price will rise every month as he attempts to ward off interest.
He told Il Messaggero: “I have no agreement with his agent [Mateja] Kezman to sell him to Juventus or anyone else in the winter.
“On the contrary, he is now worth €120m [£105m], not €100m [£88m]. Every month the price goes up.”

His agent, former Chelsea striker Kezman, provided an update on his client’s situation this week.
He said: “Sergej has just 18 months left on his contract, we will have to discuss about his situation with Lazio after the World Cup.”
Manager Maurizio Sarri recently slammed the Italian press for leading on stories about his departure to Juve calling them “bias”.
United boss Erik ten Hag supposedly saw Milinkovic-Savic as a Frenkie de Jong alternative over the summer.
