Fiorentina’s race against the clock to sign Aston Villa-owned defender
Fiorentina are reportedly pushing to reach an agreement with Aston Villa for Kosta Nedeljkovic, while RB Leipzig have already agreed to terminate the defender’s loan spell.
Fiorentina are making a last-minute attempt to sign Serbian right-back Nedeljkovic on an initial loan deal from Aston Villa.
Fiorentina push to sign Nedeljkovic on loan
The 20-year-old is currently on loan at RB Leipzig, where he has only collected 297 minutes across all competitions this term.
Reporter Philipp Hinze claims on X social media that the Bundesliga side have already agreed to cut the defender’s loan spell short.
The Tuscans must reach an agreement with Aston Villa now, but they are running out of time as the winter transfer window shuts today at 20:00 CET (19:00 GMT), so in less than one hour.
