Stevan Jovetic is close to leave Fiorentina after five successful years. Jovetic is wanted by two Premier League giants, Arsenal and Manchester City.
Last season Fiorentina boss managed to keep his star for one more season but now it will be very hard to refuse the offers for the Montenegrin striker. The interest from Manchester City is not new, but it seems that Arsene Wenger wants him too and he will try to bring him to Arsenal.
Last summer, Arsenal transferred Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, hoping that they will fill the void left by the departure of Robin Van Persie to Manchester United but the two failed to live up to expectations.
After being knockout from Champions League and after a modest run in Premier League where they have small chances to finish 4th, Wenger is determinated to make major changes in his squad and Jovetic is on top of the list of acquisitions.
Even if the Montenegrin defender Stefan Savic, his former teammate, advised him to choose Manchester City, Jovetic is apparently decided to choose Arsenal. Jovetic said recently that Arsenal is one of the best teams in Europe and he would like to play there after he will leave Fiorentina, but at this moment he is thinking only at the objectives of his current team.
Fiorentina are hoping to finish on 3rd place which will give them the chance of playing in Champions League next season. The Italians are 4th in Serie A standings at 3 points behind AC Milan who are on 3rd.
Will Jovetic leave Fiorentina at the end of the season?
