Nikola Milenković came close to leaving Fiorentina last summer, but instead ended up staying at the club, where he also signed a new contract until 2023.
The defender continues to be a regular for the Italian club and has made 24 appearances in all competitions this season.
His performances have not gone unnoticed as clubs in Serie A and abroad are keeping an eye on the 24-year-old. For the latter, there is Newcastle United.
Calciomercato.it have a report focusing on Juventus’ plan to sign the centre-back in the summer as they’ve had him in their sights for ‘some time’.
In ‘recent days’, La Viola ‘had contact’ with Eddie Howe’s side over the Serbia international’s transfer.
It’s claimed that Fiorentina are ready to sell the player to the Tyneside club, if they were to make a ‘fair offer’. There’s no mention what is considered as a ‘fair offer’ by the Serie A side.
Newcastle and Juventus are joined by AC Milan, who have ‘already moved’ for the Serbian. It will be easy for one of these clubs to sign the defender.
That’s because Fiorentina already have a ‘pact’ with Milenković, to let him leave, and the report says the ‘separation seems almost obvious’ after this campaign.
Given their past with Juventus and transfers, and the recent controversy over Dušan Vlahović’s move to Turin, Fiorentina would almost certainly prefer the defender goes to Newcastle United.
