Nikola Milenkovic has been linked with Milan and Tottenham and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport he has a €15m release clause included in his contract with Fiorentina.
Both Milan and Tottenham are on the lookout for a new centre-back in January.
The Serie A giants are dealing with Simon Kjaer’s injury. The Dane will undergo knee surgery today and could remain out of action for up to six months.
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham must do without Cristian Romero for several weeks and the Italian tactician confirmed earlier this week that the former Atalanta man has suffered a ‘serious’ hamstring injury.
Milenkovic extended his contract with Fiorentina in August and his current deal at the Stadio Artemio Franchi expires in June 2023.
Conte and Tottenham’s targets in Serie A to replace injured Romero
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Fiorentina included a €15m release clause in his new deal, therefore he can leave La Viola for such a fee in January.
Milenkovic, 24, has also been linked with West Ham. He joined Fiorentina from Partizan in a €5m deal in 2017. The Serbia international has played 146 games with La Viola.

If true, then it’s a no-brainer. We should get him immediately.
No need to bargain here. So much quality for so little. @Maldini, do your magic.
@Milan Fan. Agreed, real no-brainer if true.
How could the Viola add that clause? Are they mad???
Young and already a very good defender who knows the league, the culture and the language. I agree it’s a no brainer, also because he will need less time to adapt or so you would think at least.
