Enduring a difficult game against Portugal for Serbia that ended up with him being sent off in the 92nd minute, Nikola Milenković now needs to put it behind him and get back to his normal form with Fiorentina.
Doing well in a team struggling for results, the centre-back has attracted the attention of big Premier League clubs, with both Manchester United and Liverpool xseemingly tracking his every move these days.
However, it could very well end up being solely the Red Devils knocking on his door in the summer, since the Reds have now turned their attention to Ibrahima Konaté.
With multiple reports of Jürgen Klopp’s team being close to securing the RB Leipzig defender’s services, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer might find the route to Milenković a bit clearer.
Corriere dello Sport explain that ‘many big clubs in the Premier League are courting’ the Serbian, ‘starting with Manchester United’.
They then add ‘but also Liverpool’, although if the Reds sign Konaté, you would expect them to drop their pursuit of the Fiorentina player, as they’ll then have Virgil Van Dijk, Joe Gomez and the Frenchman to rotate, as well as Ben Davies and Joel Matip.
Good news for Manchester United, then.
