Jovetic unwilling to increase buy-out clause

Fiorentina star Stevan Jovetic will not discuss a new release clause being inserted into his contract, according to his agent.

Manchester City reportedly have first option on the Montenegrin, having negotiated such as part of the deal that saw them sign centre-back Matija Nastasic in the off-season.

And with plenty of Europe's biggest clubs likely to be interested in the 23-year-old at the end of the season, his representative Fali Ramadani said there was no need to increase his client's current 30-million euro buy-out trigger.

"A new clause with Fiorentina? There is already one valid at 30 million euros and we won't change that," Ramadani told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

Jovetic has failed to hit the same heady heights as last season so far this campaign but has still contributed 12 goals in 23 league appearances for the Serie A outfit.
