The Montenegrin defender has been very regular in recent seasons and the mattress team has decided to incorporate a player with similar characteristics in the winter market
Stefan Sávic came to Atletico Madrid It has been seven seasons now and since the first year he has been a key footballer in Simeone’s scheme. He arrived from Fiorentina after paying 12 million euros and has always shown a very good performance. In fact, this year packed with defensive problems for the rojiblancosthe Montenegrin defender has been one of the most reliable in the defense along with Reinildo.
However, despite its regularity, never finished becoming a starter entrenched. Giménez, Godín, Reinildo or even Felipe have been ahead of him in terms of Simeone’s order of preference. But he has always ended up playing important games and playing many minutes. That is why Atlético de Madrid wants to repeat a signing like Savic’s.
The new Savic that watches over Atlético de Madrid
As we have been able to learn recently, the rojiblanco team is following in the footsteps of a new defender. Felipe will leave the team and Mario Hermoso is on the starting ramp. That is why they are now determined to incorporate a new footballer. And it seems that it has already been decided who will be the new rojblanco defender.
This footballer will be Nikola Milenkovic, who, like Savic, would also come to Atlético de Madrid from Fiorentina. Both footballers share Serbian nationality and have shown a very regular performance in recent seasons. Of course, his signing will be much more expensive than that of the Montenegrin footballer from Atlético de Madrid.
Milenkovic, a complicated signing for Atlético de Madrid
The 25-year-old footballer has been followed by important European clubs for years and Juventus was the closest to getting his signing. He finally continued at Fiorentina, with whom he renewed his contract last summer until 2027. However, his value has dropped in recent months and it could be the perfect time to start signing him.
Due to playing characteristics and personality, he would be a footballer who would fit perfectly into the Atlético de Madrid scheme. Of course, the rojiblanco team would have to pay an amount greater than 20 million euros. An amount that practically doubles what Atlético de Madrid paid to Fiorentina for Savic seven seasons ago. However, market conditions have changed and the rojiblanco club will have to make a financial outlay for the footballer.
