Fiorentina's Milan Badelj 'snubs West Ham United, Aston Villa'

Fiorentina's Milan Badelj has reportedly declined to hold talks with West Ham United and Aston Villa ahead of the expiration of his contract.

The highly-rated Croatian could be available on a free transfer in July, but according to Tutto Mercato, he has snubbed both English clubs.

The 29-year-old is said to be keen to stay at Fiorentina but reports suggest that the two parties have struggled to make a breakthrough in their contract talks.

Meanwhile, Italian sides Juventus, Lazio and Roma are reportedly monitoring the situation.

Badelj turned out 27 times in Serie A last season, scoring twice and providing one assist.
