The 23-year-old defender could have had enough at the club after over 100 games for Fiorentina in all competitions, while he has been capped 23 times by the Serbian national team.
Meanwhile, another Premier Leg sue side West Ham United were reported to have made an attempt to secure his services during the summer transfer window but failed.
