Nottingham Forest announce signing of Serbian international Milenkovic

Nottingham Forest have announced the signing of Nikola Milenkovic on a five year deal.

The Serbian international joins from Fiorentina with a contract that should see the centre back remain with the club until summer 2029.

“We are excited to welcome Nikola to Nottingham Forest today. He is a key part of our squad planning this summer and I know how enthusiastic he has been to join the club,” Chief Football Officer Ross Wilson said, speaking to the club’s website.

“We have long admired his performances with the Serbian national team, and in Serie A and European competitions for Fiorentina.

“We are delighted that he will bring his experience and qualities to Nottingham Forest.”

The defender has made 57 appearances for Serbia and played in each of their Euro 2024 matches. Last season he appeared 50 times for Fiorentina in an impressive season for the 26 year old.
