Barcelona have been offered the opportunity to sign Fiorentina’s centre-back Nikola Milenkovic, according to Mercato’s Giancomo Lacobellis.
The 24-year-old is highly rated in Italy and is available for just €20m.
The Serbian international is a powerful defender towering at six-foot-three, a feature that makes him dominant in aerial battles.
His passing is superb too, with stats showing he completes 88.6% of his passes and registers 0.4 key passes per game.
The big defender also makes 1.6 tackles and 1.1 interceptions per game – fairly decent for a young player still honing his craft.
Last season, Milenkovic helped Fiorentina keep 11 clean sheets in 34 outings.
Barcelona are still planning to lavish nearly €50m to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla – Milenkovic presents a more affordable and less risker prospect for the Blaugrana.
