Maka: Luka Jovic is close to joining Athens AEK, he rejects Real Oviedo

"Marca" reported that Luka Jovic is close to joining Athens AEK.

Real Oviedo tried his best to sign forward Jovic, who, in the past few weeks, has been increasingly in contact with the player team, and just as both sides seem to be closer than ever, Jovic finally chose to refuse.

The forward neither recognizes Oviedo's competitive plan nor is he satisfied with the existing lineup configuration. Considering his age advantage, development prospects, and the offer proposed by Athens AEK this weekend, the balance eventually leaned towards the Greek team. According to Marca Radio, the player is currently on his way to Athens to sign a contract.

As reported in previous reports, Oviedo's pursuit of Jovic can be said to be full of efforts. Club chairman Martin Peraes admitted last week: "As long as there is hope, we will insist on negotiations. Although our budget is almost the bottom in the first league, signing a player like Jovic is a luxury for any team. However, this team is always creating miracles, and we believe that this place can bring him back to light. "

In the end, the Serbian chose to reject Oviedo's invitation and will start a new journey of AEK at Athens with freedom. After passing the physical examination, the signing will be officially announced, and Jovic will seek to regain his peak form here, after he just terminated his contract with AC Milan.
