Stevan Jovetic could soon be an Inter player according to the latest reports from Sky Sports.
The reports say that Piero Ausilio and Marco Fassone are very confident about a positive closing of the deal and that it could be official as early as this weekend.
An agreement has been found on the figures on a loan deal with repurchase obligations set at 15M Euro plus bonuses.
Manchester City now see the Montenegro international as a luxury reserve and are willing to let the player leave.

To be honest, it wouldn’t surprise me if we have to wait until the beginning of August before the deal for Jovetic is materialized and Shaqiri goes to Schalke.
Why?
Because Inter don’t seem 100% sure if they will be signing Perisic yet.
Perisic is vital to the deal for Shaqiri, because Inter will have to pay cash for the Croat – which means that they need fresh cash – which they will get from forgoing the obligation to pay Bayern for Shaqiri.
Wolfsburg seem to be dragging on the deal for Perisic because of two reasons:
1. The fact that they don’t yet know if they will sell de Bruyne (in which case they really won’t need money) – but this is the less important factor, because:
2. They are playing Bayern in the SuperCup on the 2nd of August, and they probably want to keep him until then.
I believe Wolfsburg will sell Perisic to Inter eventually because they already got another winger to “replace” him as the alternative to Schurrle.
Also, the pieces are moving at Schalke as well – they already sold Farfan and could sell Draxler to Juventus – which means they will certainly need a winger and it seems that they’ve opened up the road to the Shaqiri deal. They will also have the cash to do it since they got like 10m for Farfan and certainly won’t get anything less than 25-30 for Draxler.
Finally, Inter are returning to Italy on the 2nd of August (the same day Wolfsburg play the SuperCup with Bayern). I expect us to sign Felipe Melo on the way there when we stop by in Istanbul to play Galatasaray (they might even inquire about Alex Telles for the left back position if they manage to plant Nagatomo to them).
But, it could also happen that Jovetic signs before that IF Inter are sure of the deals for Perisic and Shaqiri, since Jovetic is a loan + buy anyway.
Closure by the weekend? is that a new song
Come on ausilio, just seal it already together with shaqiri’s departure and perisic deal. They need to integrate as soon as possible. Ive hearing this news for far too much lately
If we can really get JoJo with less than 20m
It’s a Better deal than KDog, Montoya, etc.
JoJo+Icardi will be dominating!!!!
So???
