MN: Jovic’s ‘strange summer’ – renewal to possible sale in a few weeks

Luka Jovic had a positive first season with AC Milan which led to them renewing his contract, but in just a few weeks there are now doubts about his future at the club.

According to MilanNews, Milan pondered the idea of giving Jovic a longer-term extension after a deubt season in which he racked up nine goals at an average of one every 138 minutes, but in the end they went for an automatic one-year renewal.

Despite the extension, Jovic’s time with the Rossoneri could still end after a year because the management are thinking about another signing in addition to Alvaro Morata. In recent days, the Serbian’s name has been mentioned as a possible counterpart to give to Roma to get Tammy Abraham.

That idea was rejected by the Giallorossi, but the former Fiorentina and Real Madrid forward has also received offers from two foreign clubs, yet he has rejected both because his goal at the moment is to remain with the Rossoneri.

The fact remains that Milan need sales to make room in the squad for new signings, and if a new centre-forward were to arrive (Abraham is still the favourite), the player most in the balance is Jovic. The feeling is that a solution will be found only in the last days of the summer market.
