Fiorentina increase chase for Jovic

Luka Jovic is one of the Real Madrid players who seems set to leave. The Serbian forward was not in Carlo Ancelotti's plans at all last season and is looking for a move where he can get minutes and chances to recapture his best form which he found in the Bundesliga.

Fiorentina were the latest club to show interest in the striker. However, negotiations did not start well, since the Italian team wanted to agree on a price which was not paletable for 'Los Blancos'. Nevertheless, it seems that the player will still leave.

'Corriere dello Sport' reported that negotiations between both parties have improved and that Fiorentina will make a direct bid to sign the striker on loan. Madrid, however, are still negotiating the figure for the loan, which they value at three million euros.

The good news for Fiorentina is that 'Los Blancos' will still pay half of his salary. Therefore, it seems that Madrid's manager will have one less problem up front and now he only needs to get rid of Mariano, the other striker who does not get minutes.
