Nottingham Forest Strengthen Defence With Signing Of Fiorentina's Nikola Milenkovic
Nottingham Forest have boosted their defence with the signing of Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina on a five-year deal.
Forest have paid £12m to end the Serbia international's seven-year stay in the city of Florence.
Milenkovic made 264 appearances for Fiorentina during his stay at the club, scoring 17 goals.
He helped Fiorentina reach the finals of the Europa Conference League in the last two seasons but lost both to West Ham United and Olympiacos.
The 26-year-old featured for Serbia at EURO 2024 and EURO 2020 as well as the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Forest's Chief football officer Ross Wilson said of Milenkovic: "He is a key part of our squad planning this summer and I know how enthusiastic he has been to join the club.
"We have long admired his performances with the Serbia national team and in Serie A and European competitions for Fiorentina.
"We are delighted he will bring his experience and qualities to Nottingham Forest."
