# Clancy: West Ham target Milenkovic affordable this summer

**Italian football expert Conor Clancy thinks that West Ham target Nikola Milenkovic would be affordable this summer.**

The Fiorentina defender has less than one year left on his current contract which expires June 30 next year, and the Serie A outfit could look to cash in on him this summer rather than risk losing him for free then.

West Ham insider ExWHUemployee has [claimed](https://www.hammers.news/transfer-news/west-ham-in-talks-to-sign-nikola-milenkovic-according-to-ex-things-could-progress-quickly/) that the club are in talks over a deal for the 23-year-old, however the Hammers face competition for the defender. The Athletic’s [Charlie Eccleshare](https://twitter.com/CDEccleshare/status/1420033399717310480) reported that Tottenham Hotspur also have an interest in Milenkovic and he believes a fee of around €15m could be enough to conclude a deal.

On the fee for Milenkovic, Clancy told Transfer Tavern: *“I think he’d be affordable from an English perspective because Italian clubs tend to sell when English clubs come knocking. What an Italian club sees as a good fee and what an English club see as an affordable fee are usually quite similar.”*

Milenkovic can also operate as a right-back and grabbed himself [three goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nikola-milenkovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/413507/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in Serie A last season, and with the reported interest in him, West Ham are going to have to move swiftly if they are to capture the signature of the defender this summer.
