The deal is finalized, and after a period of speculation, Forest are nearing the acquisition of Milenkovic from Fiorentina.
This morning, Romano confirmed the news with his characteristic phrase, signaling full steam ahead from Forest’s perspective.
Romano tweeted on X: “Nikola Milenkovic to Nottingham Forest, here we go! The deal is set at £12 million, with the medical scheduled for the Serbian defender. He is poised to depart Fiorentina, as reported earlier this week.”
Milenkovic has spent seven years with La Viola, amassing 264 appearances and contributing to the club’s advancement to two European finals.
Now, he is set to exchange Serie A for the Premier League, and at £12 million, Forest appear to have conducted a savvy piece of business.
Milenkovic, a Serbian international who featured in all three of his country’s matches at the recent Euro 2024 tournament in Germany, is expected to be a valuable addition for Forest. Hopefully, he can quickly adapt to the demands of the Premier League.
Despite being just 26 years old, Milenkovic brings extensive experience that should benefit Forest in the upcoming season.
Known for his aerial strength, Milenkovic appears to be an ideal defensive partner for Murillo in the heart of Forest’s defense, according to Who Scored.
They highlight his strengths as aerial dominance and strong concentration, while noting his effectiveness in set-piece situations and preference for distributing long balls.
This signing of Milenkovic marks a departure from expensive, past-their-prime players, suggesting Forest have made a prudent move that could significantly bolster their squad.
