Inter are not in any hurry to get a deal done for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic, who they are continuing to work to sign at their own pace.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, who report that contacts are ongoing between the Nerazzurri and both the 24-year-old’s representatives and also Fiorentina, but that they are not rushing to complete a transfer.

Milenkovic has emerged as Inter’s number one alternative to Bremer after missing out on the Brazilian to Juventus, although it is not clear whether they will sign him in the end given that they are now also planning to keep hold of Milan Skriniar.

The Nerazzurri are keeping things moving so that they will be ready to sign the Serbian international when the time comes, should their transfer strategy and sales enable them to do so.

However, the intent is not to immediately wrap up the deal, and for now they are only in talks.
