Chelsea are said to be interested in Milinkovic-Savic but their pursuit is not as far along, with any move potentially influenced by whether Frank Lampard remains at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of the season.
If the 41-year-old does continue in the Blues hotseat, it is suggested that he will target players who already boast Premier League experience.
A previous report from the same publication claimed the Blues enjoy an excellent relationship with Milkinkovic-Savic’s agent, former Blues striker Mateja Kezman.
And Chelsea would push this link to secure their target’s services, especially if Jorginho leaves in the summer.
The Italian has become an integral player under Lampard this season but is set to miss the next three matches due to suspension.
