Manchester United is interested to sign Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic in January. As per reports in Italy, the Red Devils have already contacted the player’s agent for the potential move.
Manchester United is ready to splash some cash to sign the highly rated and highly talented young Serbian defender Nikola Milenkovic. Manchester United faced some problems defensively last season. They have conceded some goals for their own foolish mistakes last season. To make their defense better, they have signed Alex Telles from Porto this summer.
But there was no reinforcement in the centre-back position. Chris Smalling has left the club in the summer and joined AS Roma in a permanent deal. The poor form of Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, the injury problem of Eric Baily, and Axel Tuanzebe is causing Manchester United multiple problems. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will surely go for a new defender in the next transfer window.
Milenkovic joined the Serie A side in 2017 from Partizan Belgrade for £4.59m. He has played 104 games for Fiorentina and scored 10 goals for the club. His contract with the club will expire in 2022. Fiorentina will consider an offer of more than £23m to let the defender join a new club. Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan are also interested in him.
Milenkovic will be an excellent addition to the Manchester United squad at just around £23m. But United’s transfer policy has been strange of late so it will be interesting to see how this transfer saga goes.
