Fiorentina sells Jovetic to Man City

Fiorentina has agreed to sell Montenegro forward Stevan Jovetic to Manchester City, which is rebuilding its squad under new manager Manuel Pellegrini in a bid to reclaim the Premier league title from Manchester United. British media estimated the transfer fee would be 28 million pounds ($42.56 million) for the former Partizan Belgrade captain who joined Fiore in 2008 for a reported eight million pounds. The 23-year-old Jovetic scored 13 goals in 31 Serie A games last term to help Fiorentina finish fourth as it just missed out on a Champions League berth to AC Milan on the final day.
