From Spain: AC Milan looking at Real Madrid star

Jovic never settled in La Liga and is eager to change club when the transfer market opens. El Mundo Deportivo reports that AC Milan are interested in Jovic and will try to bring the 22-year-old centre forward at San Siro.

The Rossoneri want the former Eintracht Frankfurt to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Zlatan’s contract expires at the end of the season and so far the parties have made have made little progress in renewal talks.

However, AC Milan are not the only Italian club to have moved for Jovic. Gennaro Gattuso’s Napoli have also been following him for some time, as a potential replacement for Arek Milik in attack.
