PM: Jovic edging towards renewal with Milan after mixed first season

Serbian striker Luka Jovic is getting closer to earning a new contract with AC Milan after scoring an acceptable amount of goals in his first season with the club.

As has been reported by Pianeta Milan, Jovic is now looking more likely than not to be a Milan player come the 2024/25 season.

He was signed on a free transfer in the final hours of the 2023 summer transfer window with the job of scoring enough goals to convince Milan that he should stay beyond the one year that he is contracted to the club for.

It has been a mixed time for Jovic at Milan but it seems that he is doing enough to ensure he can stay. He has managed to score eight times in 24 appearances which, for a backup striker, is not bad going at all.

One concern is that whilst he is very effective from the bench, he has been very poor when starting games. This means that Milan are at a real disadvantage when Olivier Giroud does not start a game.

Despite this, Milan are expected to exercise the option in the contract to keep him for another year, something they can do for three consecutive seasons.
