The player who continues to be strongest linked however is Milenkovic, a player Stefano Pioli knows well from his time as head coach of Fiorentina from 2017-2019.
According to MilanNews, Milan are indeed looking for a new centre-back to add physicality to the current group. Milenkovic is ideal as – despite being just 22 – he knows Serie A well.
Fiorentina though have no intention of letting go of such a prized young asset on the cheap, and owner Rocco Commisso’s request for €40m is a wall that the Rossoneri are unlikely to be able to overcome.
Milenkovic, however, is a very popular name among the management and if La Viola opens a window for negotiations, they will seriously try.
