Milenkovic, a powerful player also comfortable at right-back, is due to play at Bologna for the club he joined at the start of last season from Partizan Belgrade.

The 21-year-old is also being scouted by Juventus and was the subject of a failed €45m offer by Atlético Madrid last summer. He started all three of Serbia’s World Cup matches in Russia.

Milenkovic, who earns around £10,000 a week, has a contract to 2022.
