Elkann in favour of Jovetic swoop

John Elkann has given Juventus the thumbs up in their pursuit of Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic.

The Old Lady are hoping to sign the Montenegro international this summer and Elkann wants the deal done.

“Jovetic is a strong player,” Elkann, the CEO of the Agnelli family’s Exor group which owns the club, stated.

“He has to be signed, without talking about it too much.”

Fiorentina value the 22-year-old at around the €30m mark. It is understood that he also has admirers in England.

Hopefully, this means that Elkann will finance the move and make it happen quickly.

Juventus have won the Scudetto over the last two seasons and Elkann is happy with what he is seeing from an outfit run by his cousin Andrea Agnelli.

“As Juventus have shown, you need clear ideas to succeed, to be compact and have the hunger to win,” he added. “I like this Juve.

“They’ve won two titles over these years, it’s a very strong side, they have a Coach who has clearly shown that he is determined to go ahead and we have ambitions for the future.”

I like this

“He has to be signed, without talking about it too much.”

Make it happen!

History will repeat itself. He is coming. Our next number 10 will arrive shortly.

From Roberto Baggio to Alessandro Del Piero, and now to Stevan Jovetic. I hope he wears the legendary number 10 proudly and with grace. Roberto Baggio is my favourite player of all time and, in my opinion, one of the top 3 greatest players ever. If it wasn't for his devastating knee injury when he was 18 he might have become the greatest footballer ever.

I just hope that Jovetic can become even half the player of Baggio or even ADP. If he does he will truly become a Juvetino legend....

I see him as our new nr.10,our new Del Piero.
Can you imagine a 3-5-2 with Jovetic and Higuain upfront?Hope we get them and they become the new Del Piero-Trezegol,the attacking pair that we all have been waiting for a long time.

Its a fake quote apparently.

Some guy on Juventuz.org watched the video of his interview and he didnt say anything like that.
Here's the video to anyone who understands Italian.

Spoiler:

The journalists asked him about Jovetic and Higuain and Elkann sarcastically responded by mentioning names like Messi and Ronaldo.

Wonder how many such quotes are made up.Italian media are one of the worst at reporting transfer news/rumors thats for sure.

Di Marzio is the only source who i find reliable.He's usually spot on with his reports,he gets it right most of the time.
