Florence, Italy: Serie A club Fiorentina say they have agreed a deal to sell striker Stevan Jovetic to Manchester City. The deal is conditional on the 23-year-old Montenegro international agreeing personal terms with the Premier League club, Fiorentina said on their web site on Thursday.
City are just finishing a pre-season tour of South Africa and were not immediately available for comment. British media reported that Jovetic's fee was 22 million pounds ($33.5 million).
Fiorentina's announcement came 24 hours after Spanish club Sevilla said they had agreed to sell their striker Alvaro Negredo to City. The Manchester club has already signed winger Jesus Navas from Sevilla and Brazil's Fernandinho from Shakhtar Donetsk as they rebuild under new coach Manuel Pellegrini, who has joined from Malaga.
Pellegrini previously coached Real Madrid and Villarreal.
