Spanish La Liga giants FC Barcelona are interested in signing Italian Serie A outfit Fiorentina’s centre-back Nikola Milenkovic. The 22-year-old is being highly-rated in the football community and has been in impressive form for his current club in the ongoing season.

As per the latest report, the Catalan-based club—who are clearly struggling on the defensive front in the ongoing campaign—have identified Milenkovic as a perfect fit to bolster their squad and are likely to make an approach for him in the January transfer window.

It is believed that the Viola will be also open to letting the Serbia international leave the club in the mid-season transfer window as they are eager to generate fund in order to strengthen different areas of the squad.


I've read that many clubs were already interested but he is still in Fiorentina. I didn't watched many matches of him, except he's my countryman I can't tell you more.

He's good but I think there are better options on the market. A problem I have with Serie A defenders is they are usually good in positional defending but we don't know if/how they would adapt to playing here with a high backline. Also, I don't think we should look for a "Pique clone" (tall and slower CB) but rather someone who is a bit shorter but faster and more athletic.
