Despite signing Ben Davies and Ozan Kabak (on loan from Schalke) in the winter market, Liverpool continue to be linked with central defenders.
The Reds are believed to be in the race for David Alaba, who confirmed his decision to leave Bayern Munich at the end of this season.
A new name, Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenković, is added to the Liverpool target list and this is according to Fioretninanews.com.
It’s claimed there will be a ‘revolution’ at the Italian club and as a part of it, two of their centre-backs, Milenković and Germán Pezzella, are ‘set to leave’ in the summer.
The Serbia international’s current deal is until 2022 and the Serie A side’s hope of renewing his contract ‘seems to have definitively disappeared’.
This is the reason that ‘forces’ La Viola to sell the defender when the transfer window reopens, in order to ‘collect a decent amount’ and to not let him leave for free in the summer of 2022.
The report, however, doesn’t mention what the fee Fiorentina are looking to ‘collect’ for the player is.
It’s claimed England will be Milenković’s ‘very likely destination’, with Liverpool and Manchester United in the ‘front row’ for his signing.
Whether or not Jürgen Klopp’s side will win the battle for Milenković’s signature isn’t mentioned and it’s too early now to predict where the defender will end up in the summer.
