Chelsea option for signing must not be ‘underestimated’ – Player’s farewell from club ‘obvious’ in summer

On Tuesday, Calciomercato reported Manchester United are in ‘pole position’ for Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenković.

Liverpool, who are also credited with interest in the defender, are taking time to reflect whether to sign the Serbia international, after his poor displays for his country last month.

Apart from the Old Trafford club and the Reds, Chelsea have now become an option for the centre-back, according to TuttoMercatoWeb.

It’s claimed his ‘farewell is obvious’ in the summer, but it’s not clear where he will move next.

With a contract expiring in 2022, the player has communicated to the Serie A side about his willingness to leave after this season and has given a mandate to his agent to find a new club.

A move to the Premier League is on ‘top of the list’ for the 23-year-old, where United and Liverpool have been following him for months.

The Blues get a mention and it’s explained the option of joining Chelsea should not be ‘underestimated’, considering Milenković’s profile, age and his experience of playing in Italy.

It’s clear the Serbian will leave Fiorentina and he retains a dream of moving to England, where United, Liverpool and Chelsea are named as potential suitors.
