# West Ham: Hammers receive Nikola Milenkovic boost

**According to journalist [Paolo Bargiggia](https://paolobargiggia.it/juve-locatelli/), West Ham United transfer target Nikola Milenkovic could be available for a fee of just €10m (£8.6m) this summer.**

### **The Lowdown: Hammers eye Milenkovic**

West Ham are reportedly heavily interested in signing the Fiorentina defender this summer (Hammers News [via Juve Live](https://www.hammers.news/transfer-news/nikola-milenkovic-would-welcome-west-ham-move-says-insider-as-clubs-haggle-over-fee/)).

There has now been a positive update provided on the Irons’ pursuit of the Serbia international.

### **The Latest: West Ham set for bargain fee**

It has been said that West Ham could receive a huge discount for to the centre-back.

He is currently valued at £22.5m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nikola-milenkovic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/413507) but, as per Bargiggia, he could be available for a fee of just €10m (£8.6m) – that would represent a discount of 55.6% on his market value.

### **The Verdict: Get it done**

There should now be no doubt in the minds of David Moyes and co – they must get this deal done. For such a fee, they will struggle find a better deal this summer. Since making the move to Fiorentina in 2017, Milenkovic has made 133 appearances for the club in all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/nikola-milenkovic/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/413507)) – in the last three campaigns, he has missed just seven league matches.

The 23-year-old has even been compared to Serbian compatriot Nemanja Vidic, who enjoyed an illustrious career with Manchester United ([ESPN](https://www.espn.com/soccer/club/fiorentina/109/blog/post/3616051/fiorentina-prodigy-nikola-milenkovic-cant-avoid-nemanja-vidic-comparisons)). Of course, there is no guarantee he will match that level of success, but even if he turned out to be half the player the 39-year-old proved to be, he would be a top signing for West Ham.
