Luka Jovic arrived late yesterday evening as AC Milan decided to accelerate the pursuit, having failed to sign any of their other centre-forward targets. In this article, we take a look at everything you need to know about the transfer.
Jovic was on the Rossoneri’s radar the entire summer but never really convinced the management, at least as a first choice. That’s why they tried to sign the likes of Mehdi Taremi, Rafa Mir and Patson Daka before going for the Serbian.
The 25-year-old joined Fiorentina on a free transfer from Real Madrid last summer as the latter decided to eat their losses from the €63m investment. They did, however, include a future resale clause amounting to 50%.
Due to Jovic’s €2.5m net salary, La Viola decided to let him go for free to the Rossoneri, having not paid any transfer fee themselves. This also means that Giorgio Furlani and Co. won’t be able to use the growth decree, which would decrease the taxes.
The striker has signed a one-year deal with Milan and there is an option to extend it for an additional year. It’s believed that the salary will stay the same (€2.5m) and he will thus cost Milan around €4.6m gross on the balance sheet.
Last season, Jovic found the back of the net 13 times in 50 appearances and while those are okay stats, Fiorentina fans often complained about his attitude. This is something he will need to work on at Milan.
He can’t be worse than origi right
He is now in Milan short and I for one am very happy, I think Pioli has pulled of a genius move because this guy has brilliant hold up play and are wingers will have a field day
Overall goal quota is actually around 180′ for last season, if he can keep that great.
Well…..this might be a very interesting signing.If he is about to redeem his career,and is ready to push,one more time,above 200%.Don’t forget guys,he used to be one of the most promising young strikers in Europe,doing wonders at Eintracht!We’ll see,it’s all up to him
We should have tried to sign Lukaku on loan. That power we saw yesterday against us would have been better with us.
9 million gross salary. Would you chip in?
And that’s half of what Roma pays. The other half is on Chelsea still…
How come Roma don’t have any wage cap?
‘cuz they are idiots
😂😂😂😂😂 the way you emphasized on that power is cracking me up 😂😂😂😂, that is one attribute Giroud doesn’t have that strong hold up play. I hope Jovic brings another spice to our game.
Another origi with rebic attitude nice work management. You had 2 or more weeks when you were talking to Taremi’s agent/Porto management and you didn’t try for someone else 👍
Well his attitude are his biggest problem. I hope he fix his attitude in ACM . Real madrid even dont care about their loss 63m euro for this striker because his attitude
