Now, Barca have come forward for the youngster, who joined the Viola from Partizan Belgrade in July 2017 in a €5m deal.

They are currently tied with Real Madrid at the top of La Liga on 25 points and are said to be eyeing defensive reinforcements.

La Nazione adds the Serb won’t come cheap but that Fiorentina are willing to listen to offers from a big club to help them generate more funds for January.

Fiorentina – who sit ninth in Serie A – face Hellas Verona on November 24, when they return to action after the international break.
