Nottingham Forest have signed Serbian center-back Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina on a five-year deal worth approximately £12 million. Milenkovic, 26, brings substantial experience with 57 international caps and 264 appearances for Fiorentina, where he contributed 17 goals and five assists. His signing fills the defensive gap left by Moussa Niakhate's transfer to Lyon. Forest's chief football officer, Ross Wilson, described Milenkovic as a key part of their summer squad planning, highlighting his strong performances in Serie A and European competitions. This move marks a significant addition to Forest's squad as they prepare for their Premier League opener against Bournemouth on August 17.
