Manchester United have increased their determination to sign Fiorentina center-back Nikola Milenkovic this mid-year, Tuttomercatoweb reports.
The Red Devils are long-haul admirers of the Serbian, and they were at first inspired by him when Jose Mourinho was their manager at the time. He keeps on being connected with the club, and it was as of late asserted that the Red Devils have ‘a reasonable benefit’ in marking the 23-year-old.
It is presently announced that the defender is going ‘towards’ United, and the club’s endeavors to sign him are ‘getting more grounded’. Milenkovic has no plans of restoring his agreement, which terminates in June 2022, and La Viola are set to head out in different directions with him this late spring.
Our take:
The Red Devils at present have Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire as the favored center-back pair, with Eric Bailly being the back-up choice.
Bailly could be moving this late spring after recent contract developments while there have been questioning over Lindelof’s exhibitions before. Solskjaer is peering towards a left-footed defender who can work close by Maguire, and Villareal’s Pau Torres has been accounted as the perfect player for this job.
Be that as it may, Milenkovic could be a quality buy with his solid ethereal presence and readiness to clear his lines.
The Serbian is esteemed at €35 million by La Viola yet could be prised away for less with his agreement lapsing in 15 months. Signing Milenkovic could be a major move for United as a solid defensive pairing will change the complexion of this United team.
