Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s transfer from Lazio to Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal has been finalized, marking a significant move for the 28-year-old midfielder.
Having spent eight seasons with Lazio since his arrival from Genk in 2015, Milinkovic-Savic has been a key figure in the Serie A side.
The Serbia international, who has attracted interest from top European clubs in the past, will now embark on a new chapter in his career with Al Hilal. The signing was officially announced on the club’s Twitter account, accompanied by a video featuring family photos that highlighted Milinkovic-Savic’s football heritage.
Milinkovic-Savic joins the likes of Kalidou Koulibaly and Ruben Neves, former Premier League players who also made the move to Al Hilal this summer from Chelsea and Wolverhampton Wanderers, respectively. The Saudi Pro League has been making significant investments in attracting high-profile names from Europe, as seen with the recent arrivals of Karim Benzema from Real Madrid, Roberto Firmino from Liverpool, and Chelsea duo N’Golo Kante and Edouard Mendy.
The Saudi Pro League’s efforts to attract notable talents from across Europe serve as a testament to the growing stature and ambition of football in the region.
