In-demand Fiorentina forward Stevan Jovetic has publicly stated he wants to leave the club in favour of a new challenge.
The Montenegrin striker has been linked with moves to Juventus and Arsenal after an impressive Serie A season in which he scored 13 goals in 31 appearances.
The 23-year-old has been at Fiorentina for five years, after signing from Partizan Belgrade in 2008, and feels the time is right for a switch away from the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
I ve been at Fiorentina in 2008, five very intense seasons, Jovetic told Gazzetta dello Sport.
I really feel like I ve given everything. I m young and ambitious and it is normal to feel the need to test myself elsewhere. I do not think there s anything wrong with desire.
Florence and la Viola (club s) fans have always asked me to be upfront: so here it is. I need stimulation elsewhere, I need to devote myself in a top club.
I ve played in Europe with Fiorentina, now I want to win in Europe.
Fiorentina are expected to command a fee of over 25 million euros to sell Jovetic, who says he is honoured to be linked with a move to the back-to-back Serie A winners, Juventus.
But with Arsenal set to embark on an off-season spending spree, in a bid to challenge for the Premier League title, he also declared himself keen on a switch to England, while he did not rule out Spain either.
For a year they (Juventus) have said they want me, he said.
I come before (Zlatan) Ibrahimovic, (Carlos) Tevez and (Gonzalo) Higuain in their list. Who would not be flattered?
With (Juventus manager Antonio) Conte I feel that I could continue to grow. I think the feeling is mutual.
But the Premier League is also fantastic championship, as is La Liga. I have some opportunities so we ll see.
