Report makes claim about Spurs and Liverpool target Nikola Milenkovic

Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool may have received a transfer boost, with Italian outlet Il Milanista reporting that Nikola Milenkovic would like to play in the Premier League.

Calciomercato reported earlier this month that both Spurs and Liverpool have made contact with his representatives.

The £25.8 million-rated defender is out of contract at the end of next season. And according to that report from Calciomercato, Fiorentina are growing resigned to losing him this summer.

Il Milanista reports that AC Milan have been admirers of the 23-year-old for some time. However, it is claimed that he is keen to move to the Premier League.

The report notes that Manchester City are also interested in the Serbia international. So there is still set to be plenty of competition for his signature.

But perhaps, it should come as no surprise if the situation comes to a head this summer. La Viola may prefer to sell him rather than allow his contract to run into its final year.

The likes of Spurs and Liverpool may have an advantage over the likes of Milan if he is indeed keen to play in England.

But they cannot become complacent. Both Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp should have a new defender near the top of their wishlist this summer.

And thus, they should not hang around and leave the open for Milenkovic to head elsewhere.
