As Al Nassr gears up to challenge Al Hilal for league supremacy, the prospect of Milinkovic-Savic switching sides adds an element of unpredictability.

However, Serie A giant Juventus is also highly interested in acquiring Milinkovic-Savic’s services, as they aim to fill a void after Paul Pogba’s suspension. The Gunners, having tasted links with Milinkovic-Savic in the past, will battle the Old Lady for the acquisition of Al Hilal’s star midfielder. However, there remains a potential challenge to overcome for both clubs.

The 28-year-old midfielder’s hefty annual salary of $40 million could present a stumbling block in his pursuit. With Financial Fair Play issues, the clubs are more likely to propose a loan deal with an option to buy. However, as Mikel Arteta looks to secure a midfield formula that can stand the test of time, this latest pursuit will be interesting.

Milinkovic Savic could be a game-changer for Arsenal

Should the deal materialize between the parties, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic could emerge as a game-changer for Arsenal’s midfield dynamics. The Gunners are still seeking the right balance in midfield, after acquiring Kai Havertz in the summer. Milinkovic-Savic’s ability in the final third and his physical presence could provide the missing link to Arsenal’s problems.
