Manchester United have reportedly decided that they are prepared to part ways with Andreas Pereira in order to sign Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic.
United have been keen to sign a new centre-back since the summer, and Milenkovic is one of a number of players to have been identified as a potential signing over the past six months.
Reports have suggested that United may wait until the end of the campaign to push on with their search for new additions, but according to La Nazione, United are trying to find a way to sign Milenkovic.
The report claims that Pereira could leave Old Trafford for the Serie A side, having been restricted to just 281 minutes of football in the Premier League and Champions League this season.
The Brazilian has just six months remaining on his contract, and it has been suggested that United are prepared to loan the playmaker to Fiorentina in a bid to improve their chances of signing Milenkovic.
