Nottingham Forest has initiated discussions with Fiorentina to negotiate a potential transfer for defender Nikola Milenkovic, according to recent reports.
Fiorentina, under the new leadership of coach Raffaele Palladino, has been active in the summer transfer market. The club has already secured Moise Kean from Juventus and is on the verge of finalizing a deal for Boca Juniors’ promising talent Nicolas Valentini.
Milenkovic has been a key player for Fiorentina, drawing interest from several top clubs over the years, including Inter, West Ham, and Juventus.
Having joined Fiorentina in July 2017, the Serbian centre-back has been a consistent performer, contributing significantly to the team’s defensive strength. After seven years in Florence, Milenkovic might now be contemplating a new chapter in his career.
Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Nottingham Forest has begun formal talks with Fiorentina to explore the feasibility of a transfer for the 26-year-old defender.
Forest is keen on adding Milenkovic to their squad, recognizing his experience and defensive capabilities. Last season, Milenkovic played nearly 4000 minutes for Fiorentina, showcasing his endurance and reliability on the field. He is currently under contract with the club until June 2027.
As negotiations progress, Nottingham Forest remains hopeful about the prospect of bringing Milenkovic to the Premier League, aiming to bolster their defense with his proven skills and experience.
