Serbia midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has joined Al Hilal from Serie A side Lazio, the Saudi Arabian club announced on Wednesday.

"Coming from Italy's eagles. Savic represents Asia's Leader," Al Hilal said on their Twitter account. Italian media reported that Al-Hilal would pay around €40 million ($44.51 million) for the 28-year-old.

Milinkovic-Savic has signed a three-year contract with an option for a fourth and will be teammates with Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly and Portugal midfielder Ruben Neves, both of whom joined the club in June.

Al Hilal posted a video of Milinkovic-Savic's father looking at photos of his son, who is then pictured in his new team's jersey. "I'm Hilal" the Serbian player said.
