Inter Milan reportedly made a move on Sergej Milinkovic-Savic last summer before turning to Davide Frattesi.
The Nerazzurri have strengthened their divisions with many appearances.
Including the former Sassuolo midfielder who was loaned with the obligation to buy permanently.
But according to Sky Sport via FcInter1908, the Italian giants could have signed the Serbian, who joined Lazio between 2015 and 2023.
The 28-year-old player has 1 year left on his contract with the Biancocelesti.
Inter and Juventus tried to sign him, the source explained.
The report highlights that Milinkovic-Savic is not just an idea for Beneamata but is also a transfer target that the club have seriously tried to sign.
He remains a favorite of Inter coach Simone Inzaghi, who coached him during his time in the Italian capital.
However, the overvaluation of Lazio president Claudio Lotito pushed the Nerazzurri out.
As sources tell us, the Biancocelesti boss has asked for at least 40 million euros to part with his star midfielder.
He eventually recovered this number when Al-Nassr charged.
The Saudi Pro League club has lured the Serbian international to the Middle East with a lucrative offer.
For their part, Inter is not willing to impose such an amount on a player whose contract is about to expire in a year.
In the end, they turned to Frattesi and reached an agreement with Sassuolo worth 33 million euros.
This 24-year-old player is gradually asserting himself as an important rotation option on the field for Inzaghi.
He hopes to overcome his current injury and return to the field against Bologna this weekend.
