http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stevan-Jovetic-c34163, the Montenegrin attacking player, has underlined the reasons for him staying at the Artemio Franchi outfit; especially given the interest in him.
The Fiorentina star was extremely close to making his move away from the Viola outfit, with Juventus extremely close on his trail, and they had reportedly lodged a 30 million Euro deal for the player as well. This was rejected by the owners of the club,
with the Della Valle family thinking it best not to be lured into the millions offered by the Turin giants. Juve kept the pressure to see if the Viola outfit buckled under the pressure of losing their star player for less in the future.
However, it was not to be and the player was later convinced on the need of staying another year with the club. The Montenegrin star has commented on the offers that were at the table, and commented that he stayed at the Artemio Franchi outfit after believing
the owners that they had a big project in mind. He was promised that the club would invest heavily in the coming market, and during the course of the summer transfer window, this was reaffirmed as they signed many shrewd buys. While commenting on the progress
of the team and the ambitions that he holds with the Viola outfit, Jo Jo was clear that there was no other alternative then reaching Champions League.
When quizzed about his future and whether he would be remaining with the Gigliati outfit in the coming future, he was quoted to have said that the future is unpredictable, even if he is committed to the Viola cause for now. He was quoted to have said:
“I could’ve left Fiorentina, as I had some big offers, but I decided to remain in Florence. The President promised to make big signings so we’d challenge for Champions League qualification very soon. Our objective this season is to finish in the top three,
so reaching the Champions League. Will I go to a big club in the future? For now I’m not thinking about it, but if it’s going to happen, then it will.”
There is a lot of interest in the youngster and if the club fail to live up to the promise they are currently showing, then Jovetic’s future would be elsewhere.
