GdS: Kalinic to China – Jovetic is his replacement

The future of Nikola Kalinic is still to be defined, the Croatian player received an offer from Tianjin Quanjian, the team currently coached by Fabio Cannavaro. The Chinese club already has an agreement with Kalinic, but not with Fiorentina, who refuse to drop the 28 year old’s 50M buy-out clause, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

If the Chinese were to arrive at that figure, Fiorentina would not do anything because it’s an offer that is difficult to say no to. So then the substitutes are ready – the hottest names are; Manolo Gabbiadini from Napoli, and Inter‘s Stevan Jovetic. But for Fiorentina there are two difficult obstacles: Jovetic’s high salary of 4M, and the 14M that Inter asks to sell him outright.
