All parties optimistic for West Ham-Nikola Milenkovic move
West Ham United are continuing their discussions with Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic this weekend.
Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol has shared the latest update with all parties now optimistic the deal will happen.
It is suggested that personal terms will not be a problem either for the Serbian, who has entered the final year of his current deal in Italy.
Writing on his personal Twitter account this morning, Solhekol shared that the fee looks likely to be structured.
“West Ham in talks with Fiorentina about centre back Nikola Milenkovic,” he wrote.
“All parties now cautiously optimistic deal can be done. Discussions continuing over the structure of the fee with personal terms not expected to be a problem.”
Confidence.
We are edging ever closer by the day to finally securing the defender move that we have all been wanting.
Kurt Zouma appeared to be the main traget, but the Irons consistently kept in contact with Milenkovic and his representatives and it looks to have paid off.
With personal terms an issue with the Frenchman, it is a breath of relief that Milenkovic appears happy with what will be on the table.
It will all boil down to how each club wants the deal to be structured, and if Fiorentina will accept a deal of numerous payments rather than upfront cash.
GSB aren’t known for just splashing out on huge deals, and will likely want this done over some years.
We are confident this will finally happen now, and let us move on to other areas that hopefully won’t be as complicated as this search has been.
