Ivan Provedel’s season seems to have entered a vortex from which it is increasingly difficult to get out. After a dream start to his biancoceleste career, the goalkeeper has begun to show obvious cracks in his performance, to the point of losing the trust of many fans and, perhaps, even some members of the technical staff.
The mistake against Napoli, with that Raspadori shot that went through his legs after he himself had gifted the ball to Napoli with a lopsided deflection, is just the latest in a series of episodes that have turned the spotlight on the team’s most delicate role.
Complicating the situation is the fact that Lazio has great ambitions, and to aim high, certainties are needed, especially between the posts. Baroni, at least publicly, has confirmed his confidence in his goalkeeper, but it is clear that the club is starting to look around for a reliable alternative. And it is here that an intriguing name pops up, one that could tickle the fancy of many: Milinkovic-Savic.
But no, this is not about the Serbian midfielder who has made the biancocelesti fans dream for years. This time, the Milinkovic-Savic in question is Vanja, goalkeeper of Torino, one of the most interesting profiles in the league, perfect to pick up Provedel’s legacy in a market, the summer one, that promises to be particularly eventful both inbound and outbound.
Vanja Milinkovic-Savic: un portiere che sa costruire il gioco
At 6 feet 9 inches tall and with an imposing physical frame, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic is a goalkeeper who does not go unnoticed.

But his size is not the only thing that is striking: what makes him special is his ability to actively participate in the team’s maneuvering. Baroni, who has always liked to involve the goalkeeper in the construction of the game, would find in him the ideal profile.
Milinkovic-Savic is a modern goalkeeper, one who not only saves, but can play the ball with his feet like an added defender, almost like a midfielder: at the beginning of his career he also shot penalties and penalties.
At Torino, under the guidance of Ivan Juric, he honed this trait, becoming one of the most skilled extreme defenders in kick-starting the maneuver from the bottom. It is not hard to imagine how much this quality would appeal to a team like Lazio, which aims to grow further in the possession game.
Another plus point for Milinkovic-Savic is his experience. Despite being 26 years old, he has already experienced significant ups and downs, demonstrating a rare mental strength. He has played delicate games, made mistakes and learned from his mistakes, and has grown into a key pawn for Torino, starring in what is perhaps his consecration season.
The idea of bringing Vanja Milinkovic-Savic to Roma is not a mirage. His contract with Torino expires in 2026, and the possibility of a change of air could intrigue both the player and the Granata club, which is ready to evaluate a concrete offer. From an economic point of view, we are not talking about prohibitive figures: for Lazio, it would be a sustainable and strategic investment.
