Fiorentina have asked for a fee of €20 million for Serbian defender Nikola Milenkovic, according to a report in the Italian broadcast media.

As has been reported by Sky Sport in Italy this evening, via FCInter1908, the Tuscan side appear to have upped their price for Nikola Milenkovic given it was previously understood that €15 million would be enough to sign the defender.

Inter want to sign someone to replace Andrea Ranocchia and the depth in central defence that he brought to the squad.

There have been fresh contacts between Inter and Fiorentina in recent days and that is where it has become clear that €20 million could be needed.

Other reports have claimed that Inter want to wait and see what will happen in regard to the possible sale of Milan Skriniar before they commit to spending a fee like that on a player that may only be a backup if Milan Skriniar stays.
