Juventus ‘to consider’ Nikola Milenkovic amid centre-back search | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest could face interest in defender Nikola Milenkovic, with Juventus assessing options at centre-back this summer.

Calciomercato reports that Juventus are eyeing the influential centre-back after struggling to close a deal for Bologna’s Jhon Lucumi.

Juventus have tracked Milenkovic for months and are now taking a serious look. Luciano Spalletti is keen to refresh his squad after they missed out on Champions League places last season.

Milenkovic has been a pillar for Forest since arriving from Fiorentina two years ago, and was widely viewed among the top flight’s best performers in 2024/25.

A return to Italy could appeal, yet his wages may pose a problem for Juventus, so any agreement could be difficult, particularly as he remains central to Forest’s plans. Forest missed Europe after a difficult season but avoided relegation.
