Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United and David Moyes’s West Ham United are reportedly about to miss out on Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic to Fiorentina.
90min reported on June 30 that Leeds, West Ham and Brentford all enquired about the Real Madrid forward in the summer transfer window.
However, the 24-year-old Serbia international was unconvinced by a move to the Premier League and turned down approaches from Leeds, the Hammers and the Bees, according to the report.
And now, it seems that Jovic is on his way to Fiorentina.
Well-known and well-respected journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported on Twitter that Jovic will join Fiorentina from La Liga and UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.
Romano has added that Madrid will have a sell-on clause in the contract of the striker, who earns £152,000 per week (SalarySport).

The striker had a loan spell at Eintracht Frankfurt from Madrid in 2021.
Jovic made one start and 14 substitute appearances in La Liga for Los Blancos last season, scoring one goal and giving three assists in the process.
