Nikola Milenkovic made a switch to Fiorentina from Partizan last summer and has impressed while playing as a centre-back or on the right side of the defence.
On September 25th, Calciomercato reported Manchester City are following the Serbian international at the request of Pep Guardiola.
A day later, the same outlet went on to claim the Premier League winners have moved closer to the player’s entourage, who will cost €40m.
He started as a right-back in his side’s 2-0 win over Atalanta and City once again sent a scout to watch Milenkovic in action for the Serie A outfit, who has a contract until 2022.
The way the defender is playing for Fiorentina, it will not be a surprise if there are other clubs who join City and the Turin club in the race to secure his signature, either in January or next summer.
