Luka Jovic recently renewed his contract with AC Milan until June 30, 2025, but his future at the club remains uncertain. The Serbian striker is determined to stay with the Rossoneri and has been rejecting advances from other clubs interested in his services.
However, Calciomercato detail how Milan’s plans may not align with Jovic’s intentions. After extending his contract, the club is considering selling him to make room for a new striker following Alvaro Morata’s arrival. This has created a stalemate between the player and the club, with Jovic refusing to leave Milanello despite receiving several offers.
Milan’s management has even attempted to include Jovic in a potential swap deal with Roma for Tammy Abraham, whom they see as an ideal reinforcement for their attack. The Rossoneri have tried to include technical counterparts in the negotiation to lower Roma’s €25-30 million asking price, with Jovic being one of the players proposed.
Despite interest from foreign clubs, including Zenit and Saudi Arabian teams, Jovic has declined these offers, choosing to remain with Milan. He recently returned from his post-Euro 2024 vacation and joined the team in the United States, playing the final portion of a friendly match against Real Madrid.
Jovic aims to prove his worth on the field and convince coach Paulo Fonseca of his value to the team. In his first season with Milan, he scored 9 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions, averaging a goal every 138 minutes. He proved to be a valuable asset for Stefano Pioli, particularly as an impact substitute.
The scenario moving forward remains unclear. While Jovic wants to stay and fight for his place, he’s aware of the club’s intentions to bring in another striker after Morata. The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Jovic remains at Milan or opts for a new adventure away from the Milanese capital.
