City’s Jovetic to join Inter
Print Edition
MONTENEGRIN international striker Stevan Jovetic’s injury-plagued spell at English side Manchester City is set to come to an end as he is to join Serie A outfit Inter Milan, the buying club announced on its Twitter account yesterday.
The 25-year-old — who was restricted to around 30 appearances for City in the two years since he joined it for 22 million pounds (US$34 million) from Fiorentina — will undergo a medical in Milan tomorrow.
If Jovetic passes his medical he will be Inter’s second major signing of the close season, the Italian club having paid Ligue 1 side Monaco a reported fee of 35 million euros (US$38.41 million) for French international midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia.
Meanwhile, Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal “does not know why” Angel Di Maria has not joined the Premier League club’s preseason tour of the US following media reports the winger is close to signing for Paris Saint-Germain.
The 27-year-old Argentina international, who joined United for a British-record transfer fee of 59.7 million pounds last year, was expected to travel to the US after being given extended leave following the Copa America.
However, British media have reported that Di Maria was a target for French champion PSG and that a deal was close for the former Real Madrid winger.
“He was not on the plane,” Van Gaal told reporters after United’s 3-1 win over Barcelona in Santa Clara on Saturday.
PSG coach Laurent Blanc did little to dismiss speculation about a move for Di Maria after his side was beaten by Premier League champion Chelsea following a penalty shootout in Charlotte, North Carolina.
“There is a good possibility (he could sign) but there is nothing official,” Blanc said.
