Fiorentina Star Milenkovic Flattered By Reports Linking Him With Manchester City

Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic has said he is flattered by reports linking him with the likes of Manchester City.

The 20-year-old played all three group matches for Serbia at the World Cup, and he is being followed by a number of clubs, according to the Italian media. When asked about the interest being shown in him, he said:

“The market rumours on Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Juventus and Manchester City? They are pleasing, but I remain calm and do not think about it.”


Milenkovic is only in his second season with Fiorentina. He moved from Partizan Belgrade in July 2017 for €5m and was initially used sparingly by Viola boss Stefano Pioli last campaign.

However, by the beginning of the February, he had forced his way into the starting line up, playing either at centre-back or right-back.

After finishing the season well in Serie A, he was given his first senior cap for Serbia in a friendly against Chile at the start of June. He impressed so much during the warm-up matches, that he established himself as first-team regular for the World Cup in Russia.
