Milenkovic out, Nastasic in for Fiorentina
Matija Nastasic is all set for a return to Fiorentina from Schalke 04, as West Ham United are close to a deal for Nikola Milenkovic.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Sportitalia and more, the final details are being whittled down for Nastasic.
It is a return to Florence for the 28-year-old Serbian defender, who had already played for the Viola in 2011-12.
He is available for a minimal fee, as his contract with Schalke is due to expire in June 2022.
Meanwhile, Milenkovic seems closer than ever to joining Premier League club West Ham United.
The proposal is somewhere between €15-18m plus bonuses for the 23-year-old Serbia international centre-back.
Juventus and Sevilla had also been interested, along with Tottenham Hotspur, but it seems as if Fiorentina have managed to convince Milenkovic to accept the Hammers.
He is on the market too, as his contract with Fiorentina is running down and already in the final season.
