The Serbian centre-contract back's with current club Fiorentina expires at the end of next season, although he is anticipated to depart the club this summer in order for Fiorentina to profit financially from his sale.

This summer, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, which was cited by Football Italia, the Serie A champions Inter Milan will make an offer to sign the defender from Napoli.

Despite the fact that the 24-year-old is rated at £20.7 million by transfermarkt, Fiorentina are believed to demand a fee in the region of €15 million.

In terms of Inter's squad-building process, the Serbian is slated to take over for Stefan de Vrij, whose contract expires in 2023 and who is set to leave the club again.

Manchester United, on the other hand, may be able to use a crucial convincing factor in order to beat Inter Milan to his deal. Nemanja Vidic, the player who Milenkovic admires, is the subject of this article.

For Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, Vidic was a tenacious Serbian center back who was tough as nails. His partnership with Rio Ferdinand enabled them to win the Premier League five times and reach three Champions League finals, winning one of them — while the other two came against arguably the greatest football team of all time in Real Madrid.

While growing up, Milenkovic said he was inspired by Vidic because of their shared features as Serbian defenders and the fact that they both hail from the country of origin.

If there is actual interest, United may, and probably should, use this as leverage to negotiate a successful transaction.
