Longo: ‘Not a question of money’ as Jovic wants to secure Milan renewal | OneFootball

Luka Jovic has impressed with the AC Milan shirt lately and with just two months left of the season, his goal is to secure a contract renewal.

Yesterday’s 2-2 draw didn’t help much for the standings, with Milan still in 9th place, but it did show that Tammy Abraham and Luka Jovic are in very good form. The latter has fought his way up the pecking order and with two goals in the last two games, you can only praise his hard work.

According to Daniele Longo, Jovic has two clear goals for the remainder of the season: to make it difficult for Sergio Conceicao to pick the starting No.9 and to convince Milan to renew his contract. The latter goal is certainly difficult, if not impossible, but the striker is refusing to give up.

Indeed, earlier in the season, Jovic never complained about the pecking order, continuing to work hard at Milanello just like any player. He knew that he would get the chance eventually and so far, he has definitely taken it.

The contract will expire in July and the Serbian wants to show the Rossoneri that he can be valuable next season as well. It’s ‘not a question of money’ either as the player reduced his salary to €1.3m net per season ahead of the current campaign, playing for the club he supported as a child.

At the age of 27, it’s clear that Jovic still has several years ahead as a top-level footballer and the performances in recent weeks attest to that. Playing almost as an attacking midfielder last night, he combined really well with his teammates and found space in between.
