Thursday’s transfer news involving Newcastle United.
It is claimed that Inter want £12.8 million for the Montenegro international, who is said to be apprehensive about a return to English football, following a disappointing spell at Manchester City.
But according to Tuttomercatoweb, Jovetic could be open to the move if he finds he has no future at the San Siro.

Meanwhile, Record reports that Newcastle could be about to miss out on another target, Benfica midfielder Andreas Samaris.
The Greece international has been linked with the Magpies throughout the summer, but it is now claimed that he is open to signing a new contract which would effectively rule out a move to St James’ Park.
Another midfielder rumoured to be on Newcastle’s wishlist is Hull City’s Sam Clucas. And according to The Sun, the Tigers want £20 million for the converted left winger, having turned down an offer for half that amount from Burnley.
Clucas, though, is said to be weighing up his future, which could potentially lead to him forcing a move away from the KCOM Stadium.
Newcastle’s need for the 26-year-old could soon increase, amid reports Jack Colback is on his way out of Tyneside. And The Chronicle reports the former Sunderland player is being ‘coveted by Aston Villa’.
The Magpies would perhaps be less keen on selling their England Under-20 goalkeeper Freddie Woodman. But according to The Chronicle, Tottenham Hotspur are one of three Premier League clubs now chasing his signature.
It is claimed that Woodman, son of Arsenal and former Newcastle coach, Andy, is unsettled at St James’ Park and wants first team football – either out on loan or otherwise – this season.
