Milinkovic-Savic Could Return To Serie A With Al-Hilal Deal Expiring

Former Lazio icon Sergej Milinkovic-Savic may be on his way back to Serie A, with strong hopes among the Biancoceleste faithful that his next destination will once again be the Stadio Olimpico. The Serbian midfielder’s contract with Saudi giants Al-Hilal is set to expire in the summer of 2026, opening the door for a sensational return to the club where he became a legend.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, speaking on LaLazioSiamoNoi, confirmed that Milinkovic-Savic is considering leaving Saudi Arabia to return to European football. While Juventus, Inter, and Milan have all been linked with the player, no Italian club represents his past, identity, and emotional bond quite like Lazio.

At 30 years old, he continues to stand out as one of the leading stars in the Saudi Pro League, having earned consecutive Team of the Season honors in 2023/24 and 2024/25. Yet it was his unforgettable eight years in Rome, where he recorded 341 appearances and scored 69 goals, that truly established him as one of Lazio’s greatest players of the modern era.

Financially, Lazio and other Italian clubs cannot match the figures Milinkovic-Savic currently earns in Riyadh. Yet, what money cannot buy is the connection he holds with the Curva Nord and the city of Rome. If he accepts a lower salary to rejoin Lazio, his return would not only strengthen the squad but also reignite the enthusiasm of fans who never stopped chanting his name.

Lazio supporters know well the impact Milinkovic-Savic had under their colors, and the idea of seeing him once more in the sky-blue shirt continues to grow. Should he decide that loyalty and legacy matter more than financial gain, a reunion at Formello could be the fairytale ending to his remarkable journey.
