According to talkSPORT’s Jim White, West Ham United’s move for Fiorentina centre-back Nikola Milenkovic has broken down. The ace broadcaster spoke with Hammers co-owner David Sullivan who delivered the news to him.
"Just before we came on air, I was speaking to David Sullivan."
"They were interested in Nikola Milenkovic at Fiorentina. They were quoted £25m plus £10m in add ons."
"The move has broken down."

The Serie A side wanted £35 million for Milenkovic, with an initial £25 million to be paid upfront, but both parties couldn’t agree to a deal, and West Ham will have to look elsewhere for the defensive reinforcement that manager David Moyes wants this summer.
