The Edinburgh side reached agreement with Milinkovic’s parent club in Italy and were hopeful of negotiating personal terms quickly.

Chances of the deal being resurrected appear unlikely at this stage as Hearts are now ready to turn their attentions elsewhere.

Milinkovic is attracting interest from clubs in England, France and Italy after a productive loan period at Tynecastle Park last season. He had been keen to return but not on the terms Hearts could offer.
