Lazio secured the long-term futures of a pair of integral players by signing Ciro Immobile and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic to new contracts until 2023, the club announced Monday.

The new contracts will see their yearly salary rise to €3 million, respectively, according to Gianluca Di Marzio of Sky Sports.

Immobile, 28, led all Serie A players in scoring last season after finding the back of the net 29 times, while Milinkovic-Savic has attracted plenty of attention from clubs around Europe following his impressive performances with Lazio and Serbia.

Milinkovic-Savic's agent, Mateja Kezman, revealed last month that a new deal was in the works after his client received several offers to move abroad during the summer.

Kezman added that he even had an offer from an unidentified French team willing to pay the 23-year-old €8 million a season.

After losing Saturday's derby against Roma, Lazio, who sit sixth in Serie A with 12 points through seven matches, will look to rebound during Thursday's Europa League group stage match with Eintracht Frankfurt.
