Fiorentina prefer to sell Jovetic abroad, says Prade

Mar 8, 2013 9:55:00 AM

The Montenegro international has attracted the interest of a number of big clubs, and a decision on his future will be made this summer

Fiorentina director Daniele Prade has insisted that the Viola do not need to sell star player Stevan Jovetic, and added that they prefer to sell the Montenegro international to a foreign club if they make the decision to cash in on him.

The 23-year-old has caught the attention of clubs such as Juventus and Manchester City with his fine performances for Fiorentina, and Jovetic is widely expected to leave the club at the end of the 2012-13 campaign.

"A decision on his future will be taken in June together with the player. Andrea Della Valle made him a promise last year and he's not one to break his promises," Prade told Corriere dello Sport.

"We do not have to sell him. If we do sell, we prefer him to go abroad, though. A lot depends on where Fiorentina will finish in the table this season."

Jovetic has a contract with the Serie A outfit until June 2016.

Champions League final - LIVE!

German giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will battle it out at Wembley for European glory. Get involved by sending us your thoughts via Twitter or Facebook! Hosted by Mark Doyle.

Dortmund's crestfallen players are currently receiving their runners-up medals while Bayern are dancing down below. Such a contrast. Such a cruel game. But then, such is life.

9:50 PM BST

Is it just me or is there a look of Tardelli about Robben in that pic below (albeit with less hair!)? His joy almost appears painful. Like it's all too much for him to take; that the enormity of what he's done, and what it means to him, is almost unbearable.

9:46 PM BST

We may have had a dramatic late winner at Wembley but that hasn't stopped us getting our match report and player ratings out bang on time. Both goalkeepers were absolutely sensational tonight but, for me, perhaps for sentimental reasons, Robben's man of the match. Once Bayern belatedly got themselves into the game, he was their principal goalscoring threat.

9:42 PM BST

Our matchwinner is in tears. And he's not the only one, as our man Jay Jaffa reports:

"I underestimated the Bayern support; there's a girl crying next to me!"

I think there's going to be plenty of tears shed tonight, among both sets of players, and both sets of fans.

9:38 PM BST

BAYERN MUNICH ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!! Die Roten have done it. They have beaten compatriots Borussia Dortmund at the death. It was a truly epic encounter, a credit to the Bundesliga. That will be of no consolation to Dortmund, of course, who, to a man, have fallen to their knees. But so too has Arjen Robben. Franz Beckenbauer said at half-time that the Dutchman seemed destined never to score in a major final, but he's done it tonight. By God, has he done it tonight. Borussia Dortmund 1-2 Bayern Munich.
