#4 Nikola Milenkovic (Fiorentina)
Serbian centre back Nikola Milenkovic joined Fiorentina from Partizan Belgrade in the summer of 2017 for just €5.1 million. He made only 16 appearances in his debut Serie A season but already started 19 games this term.
Milenkovic has developed a reputation as a tactically intelligent and versatile defender in Italy. Standing at 6'5", the 21-year-old rarely gets beaten in aerial duels and excels at reading the game.
He's also brilliant in one-on-one situations. His adaptability is reflected in the fact that he plays as a centre back for Serbia, but as a right back for Fiorentina, in a system that turns into a back 3 while attacking.
Milenkovic is also great on the ball, a quality that is quickly becoming a pre-requisite for any top centre back in Europe.
Manchester United, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid have been interested in signing him, and the Red Devils, in particular, were reportedly considering a £45m move for him in January.
They eventually decided not to, thanks to the brilliant form of Victor Lindelof. United still do need a centre back, and a summer move for Milenkovic cannot be ruled out.
