As you might remember, West Ham United tried to sign Nikola Milenkovic last summer.
There was a long negotiation between Fiorentina and the Hammers for the Serbian defender, who was said to be close to signing for the London side.
In the end, the deal never went through, with some claiming it was West Ham who walked away from the talks, eventually signing Kurt Zouma to hand David Moyes a much needed centre-back.
Well, if Angelo Giorgetti, journalist for La Nazione, is to be believed, it was actually the other way around, with the defender deciding to turn down the Premier League side to stay with Fiorentina for at least another year.
The 24-year-old has been key to Vincenzo Italiano’s plans this season, making 26 appearances in all competitions for the Serie A side so far, scoring three goals in the process.
