Luka Jovic has experienced a remarkable turnaround at AC Milan, transforming from a potential outcast to a key player in the team’s attacking lineup. However, his future at San Siro remains uncertain as contract negotiations unfold.

The Serbian striker has made a significant impact this season, scoring four goals in 12 matches across all competitions. His recent performance in the Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter Milan, where he scored twice in a 3-0 victory, has further solidified his importance to the team.

Jovic’s rise to prominence comes as a surprise, given that Milan had previously attempted to loan him out mid-season to clubs like Monza and Fenerbahce. The player’s refusal to leave has paid off, as he has now become coach Sergio Conceicao’s preferred choice in attack, outperforming teammates Tammy Abraham and recent signing Santiago Gimenez.

Contract Negotiations in Progress

As Jovic’s current contract approaches its June 30 expiration date, discussions about an extension have begun. According to reports, the player is seeking specific terms for a new deal, including a two-year contract rather than the club’s preferred one-year agreement with an option to extend.

Jovic currently earns €1.3 million per season net. His career has seen significant ups and downs, including a €63 million transfer to Real Madrid in 2019, followed by a free transfer to Fiorentina in 2022, and finally a €500,000 move to AC Milan last year.

The outcome of these negotiations will likely depend on how the club values Jovic’s recent contributions and potential future impact. As AC Milan aims to strengthen its squad for upcoming seasons, retaining a in-form striker like Jovic could prove crucial to their ambitions in both domestic and European competitions.
