Napoli keen on Jovetic - report

29 May 2012 09:42:00

The highly-rated attacker has caught the attention of the Coppa Italia champions, who could lose their prized assets Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani in the off season

Stevan Jovetic could be on his way out of Fiorentina in the summer transfer window as Napoli have shown an interest in signing the Montenegro international, Sky Sport Italia reports.

The Partenopei are in the market for attacking reinforcements due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the futures of Ezequiel Lavezzi and Edinson Cavani, and they see the 22-year-old Jovetic as the ideal replacement should one of their star attackers leave this summer.

Jovetic joined Fiorentina from Partizan in the summer of 2008 for a reported fee of €8 million, and has since developed into one of the hottest young prospects in Serie A.

The forward has made 85 Serie A appearances for the Viola so far, netting 22 times in the process.

Jovetic has a contract with Fiorentina until the summer of 2016.
