Fiorentina prioritise Nikola Milenkovic extension amid Lazioโ€™s interest in Riccardo Saponara

Fiorentina will undergo an overhaul in the forthcoming summer transfer window, with recent reports hinting at their arrivals and departures in abundance.

Todayโ€™s edition of La Nazioneย takes a deep dive into the predicaments and the potential transfer dealings of La Viola. As per the report, Fiorentina have identified extending Nikola Milenkovicโ€˜s contract as their top objective this summer.

The Serbianโ€™s contract will expire in June 2023, meaning that he has one year left in his current terms in Florence. Multiple reports have already acknowledged the interest of numerous clubs in the 24-year-old defender, making it rather difficult for La Viola to bind the centre-back to a quick contract extension.

As things stand, the negotiations over a renewal for Milenkovic have hit a stalemate, clouding the Serbianโ€™s long-term future in Florence. The report suggests that the player has a market price of around โ‚ฌ20million.

The report also discusses Lazioโ€™s interest in Riccardo Saponara, who will be a free agent this summer following the expiration of his term at Fiorentina. On the other hand, Torinoโ€™s Andrea Belotti remains a dream for Vincenzo Italianoโ€™s side, which is reportedly competing with Torino for the services of Joao Pedro in the market.
