Remember when Vanja Milinkovic-Savic was simply “the brother of”? Well, that time seems to be over. This year, the Torino goalkeeper has shrugged off the cumbersome label and is having a breakthrough season.
The penalty he parried to Pulisic was his fourth out of four this year, but you don’t live by penalties alone: the decisive saves, the confidence between the posts: in short, he has shown that he is more than just an unfulfilled promise.
And if there was still any doubt, the challenge against Milan swept it away. On the other side, Mike Maignan experienced an evening to forget, with a trademark error on the first Granata goal. In short, two opposite worlds in ninety minutes.
It has not been an easy path for Vanja. A goalkeeper with unquestionable qualities, he has had to struggle to make room for himself and stop living in the shadow of Sergej, who used to drive Lazio fans crazy and now grosses millions in Saudi Arabia.
Instead, VMS remained in Serie A, growing season after season to become one of the best extreme defenders in the league. And now? Well, now there are several big names keeping an eye on him.

The first club that could move is Lazio itself. With Provedel having now also lost his place to Mandas, the biancoceleste club could set its sights on him to succeed him. But watch out for AC Milan as well: if Maignan really were to leave, it would not be at all strange to see the Rossoneri knocking on Torino’s door.

What about Inter? It should not be ruled out a priori. Sommer is a certainty, but at 37 years old, one cannot think of entrusting him with the starting role for too long. Besides, Simone Inzaghi likes goalkeepers who can play with their feet, and Vanja has shown time and again that he has above-average technical quality. When he was younger, he even dabbled in taking free kicks and penalties. A detail that might appeal greatly to the Nerazzurri management.
Finally, let’s not forget Napoli. Alex Meret’s renewal seems like an endless soap opera: everything seems done, then the signature never comes. If something should go wrong, the Azzurri could return to the charge for Milinkovic-Savic. A goalkeeper with personality, experience in Serie A and a profile that could be perfect for the Parthenopean team.
From unfulfilled promise to market target for top Italian clubs, Milinkovic-Savic’s leap in quality is now evident. The question now is no longer whether he will make it to a big team, but rather which club will decide to bet on him.
