Lazio are suddenly back in for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic after Fiorentina announced “we can’t wait for him anymore. We’re done.”

The astonishing saga had looked to be over this morning when the Genk midfielder was spotted in Florence at the Viola HQ, all ready to complete the transfer.

Instead, that meeting went badly wrong, as confirmed by Fiorentina director of sport Daniele Prade.

“We reached an agreement with both Genk and the player, but he arrived today and is still hesitant. We can’t wait for a 20-year-old anymore,” Prade told Violanews.com.

“We do not need to convince nor beg for someone to come here. The lad made it clear he still needs to think about it, but anyone who comes here has to have that fire in their belly.

"He has these personal issues and probably another club behind him too. It's not professional behaviour and we can't hang around waiting for him.

“Is it a definitive end to negotiations? At the moment there is no reason to open them again. We’re done.”

Now Milinkovic-Savic can join Lazio, who had agreed terms with the player, but their proposal hadn’t entirely satisfied Genk.
