According to Luka Bianchin, Milan correspondent for Sport, Jovic, who has been in excellent form recently, is close to renewing his contract with the Rossoneri until 2025.
The 26-year-old moved from Fiorentina to Milan on a free transfer last summer and has scored seven goals and provided one assist in his last 10 appearances for Milan.
The two centre-forwards in the current Milan squad, Olivier Giroud and Jovic, whose current contracts are due to expire in June this year, according to Luca Bianchin, Giroud's decision to stay is largely his own decision, and if he wants to go to the United States to continue his career, then Milan will also let him go, and if he wants to stay, then Milan are willing to sit down with him to negotiate a contract extension. As for Jovic, the issue of his contract renewal will be decided by the club.
The report further states that given Jovic's recent excellent performances, Milan will soon start contract extension talks with the player's agent, although Jovic may ask for a salary increase. At the same time, there is also the possibility that the two parties will renew their contracts for a normal period until 2025, rather than opting for the rare one-year contract.
Luca Bianchi also pointed out that Jovic has been one of the most goals scored as a substitute in Serie A so far this season, and he has scored four goals as a substitute to be joint with Lautaro for the first place, although the latter's four goals were scored in the same game, which is not as valuable as Jovic.
