Farke is said to be a big fan of the former England U21 star who can play at right back and center back. Hill has one-year left on his deal with the Cherries, which could mean they sell him this summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Bournemouth are eyeing a move Red Star Belgrade centre-back Veljko Milosavljevic. They sent scouts to watch him this past week, and could swoop in for him before the deadline. The report also hints that the Serbian would be a replacement for Hill, meaning the Cherries could green light a deal soon.

It is said that he is still a target for Leeds even with his injury problem. The Whites now have a big decision to make in the final days of the transfer window.
