Liverpool tried to sign Fiorentina star

The 21-year-old Montenegro international striker preferred to remain in Italy.

“I can confirm that last season Liverpool asked me for Stevan,” Jovetic’s agent Fali Ramadani told calciomercato.com.

“The deal didn’t materialise because the player wanted to stay in Florence.”

He added: “I don’t know if the interest is still alive, I have not heard from anyone in England.”
