Luka Jovic’s season can be summed up as one of peaks and troughs, but AC Milan are expected to offer him a new deal. The Rossoneri will add to their striker roster in the summer mercato, but the Serbian is a great option when needed, and the club appreciate this.
Reports have confirmed that Olivier Giroud will join Los Angeles FC in the summer after the expiration of his current contract, and with Jovic’s contract also expiring, the club must offer the Serbian a new deal soon.
This summer, several big moves are expected to be made in the market for strikers, and perhaps this has affected how the Rossoneri have planned to navigate the situation, given the impact that Jovic has had and can continue to have.
As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, the Serbian has proved decisive on several occasions this season from the bench and as a starter. Therefore, offering him an extension on his current deal, especially after considering the price it could take to replace him, makes a lot of sense.
After the game against Borussia Dortmund, the striker devoted himself to additional training sessions, and this had a positive impact almost instantly, as he had a great ending to 2023. Whilst his output has not continued at the same rate, he has still provided vital goals, and his experience could be valuable next season when the Rossoneri will have to adapt to life without Giroud leading the line.
