The Rossoneri were inching closer to sign a deal with Fiorentina to get Nikola Milenkovic on their side throughout the summer though the deal fell through as Florentina was unwilling to budge on their €40m price tag and for Milan, it was quite steep thus halting the negotiations mid-track. But as new information comes to light with the 22-year-old’s refusal to sign an extension, La Viola is backed in a corner to accept AC Milan’s deal. Inter had been at the forefront as well while chasing Milenkovic to replace Milan Skriniar, but AC Milan holds the higher ground after several meetings to close the deal in their favor.
