Rather crappy source, but could be something. Especially because it's confirmed that we've spoken to him in the past under Benitez but then the owners withheld the money.

This guy's F***ing epic. I play with Fiorentina on FIFA 12 all the time just to score with him.

Jovetic is brilliant, but I see this as another transfer that won't happen because he'll end up going to Juve or Chelsea or Madrid.

Great player, terrible source.

We could have/ should have got him about 4 years ago. We wont now

Italian journalist Enzo Masuraca who is really reliable stated that we had a bid for Jovetic considered to be around 19-20 million pounds accepted a few hours ago. More about this soon apparently. Hope it's for real, the guys is really class and even Rafa Benitez wanted him intensely during his time here.

Can't see anything about that on his twitter.

Why is twitter the most important source in the living world all of a sudden?

Far too many dickheads and wind up merchants who talk sh*te regarding football on there.

@formidablered started this rumor. It's not true, look at his tweets.

Good player, but I just don't see it happening if a CL club comes sniffing around. But ya never know in football.

If this happens I'll jizz myself to an early grave.

We missed out on Sanchez, we missed out on Pastore, then Lavezzi, please football God let me have Jovetic.

The tweet was made by a liverpool fan trying to prove a point that you should not believe what every one says on twitter, he made it up there is no truth in the rumors.

Temporarily annoying but deffo proves his point..

Yeah, his tweet even made the official website put it in the transfer gossip section.

It is a transfer, it is gossip, therefore they place it in the correct section, no?  Even papers print this kind of sh*t, I wonder why people bother getting worked up over transfers any more.

But you'd think they would base it on someone more reliable not a fan. But yeah i get what you're saying.

Locked.

The original thread has been locked but seems there's more gossio on the official LFC website media section coutesy of CAught offside (rubbish source!!) quoting Corriere dello Sport (better source??).

Perhaps original thread can be unlocked for further discussion? Goes without saying this would be a great addition - decent price for all parties as well IMO

"

Italian source Corriere dello Sport claim that Liverpool are to mount a €22m (£17m) bid for Fiorentina attacker Steven Jovetic as Brendan Rodgers looks to improve the Merseyside club's attacking options.

22 year old Jovetic has improved year on year over the course of his four seasons in Florence and last term, in a more advanced second striker role, the former Partizan Belgrade man notched up an impressive 14 goals from 27 appearances for Serie A side Fiorentina.

Dubbed early on his career as the 'Next Roberto Baggio' at times Jovetic has struggled to make an impact but has matured over the past year into a more effective attacking weapon that has led to interest from a number of sides, both in Italy, but also in the Premier League.

As well as Liverpool, Chelsea are also said to be interested in Jovetic and Fiorentina boss Vincenzo Montella may struggle to retain the services of the young attacker, especially if bids of this size are forthcoming

These stories came from the fake tweet itself, so all in all its still all rubbish.

Is he not injury prone? Also don't think he is the type of striker we need.

One of the more funny lines I've read in awhile.

We don't need that type of striker? What a World Class type?

Cracking player who has goals, assists and much more in his game.

To be honest, I haven't seen much of him since the night he torn us to pieces in the CL. Looks a player tho.

Unrealistic link in my opinion, unfortunately.

I'd jizz all over the roof if he came to Liverpool.

We were linked to him last summer aswell, and as far as i know he"s had injury problems of late.22 mil too much our owners won"t splash the cash .

I'd be thrilled to get him, but I've read a few others are in for him as well, probably from similar sources linking us to him.  I feel him on the left, AC in the middle and Suarez on the right of a 4-3-3 could be very dangerous.   

And he's only 22 if I'm not mistaken? so  he'd have, in theory, quite a few years in him.

That would be amazing...

Him being linked makes me tingle inside.

What reliable source has linked us with him? Don't get why this is open!

Caught Offside isn't classed as a completely sh*te source... yet.

So yes, it'll remain open. Thanks for looking out for us, though.

the only reason I'm not dismissing this is because I could see Aquilani off to Fiorentina in this deal but us still having to pay 15m~. I know player plus cash doesn't happen much but we really want to get rid of Alberto and Jovetic would be a dreamy signing.

To me it is . I think they just guess at who we will go after.

This is off-topic, but Jovetic was hilariously signed by Fulham on my manager mode in FIFA 12. Such a kooky game sometimes haha

posted in the general thread but prob better belongs here;

On this general valuation note, I heard today that Fiorentina have valued Jovetic at e25m. Now valuations are always top heavy for negotiation purposes so surely available for e18-20m??

This is value in my opinion - and perhaps justifies shipping out Carroll?!!?

Mcmulled, depends if that valuation is their actual valuation or just their initial asking price. I'd say they can get 25 for him, so wouldn't be surprised that's what they really want.

As much as he excites me as a player, I don't see him coming here right now.
