Great transfer for Florence. Unfortunately, no Bundesliga team has tried to find such a risk-free solution.
And you know that because you have personally spoken to all 18 Bundesliga teams?
This can pay off tremendously for Florence. The resale clause is lavish, but you have saved the transfer fee and the risk is therefore lower.
Show a rumor about a Bundesliga club.
You don’t have to act as if nobody noticed anything and only realized transfers publicly.
Well, if I only look at the rumors, since 2020 at Jovic, we have Dortmund, Hertha, Gladbach, Wolfsburg. Italian clubs including Fiorentina 3, PL clubs 5-6.
And of course, many big deals with many parties intentionally leak information in advance to create a mood or simply because 100% secrecy with the player environment, cabin gossip, advisor environment, etc. simply leaves too many loopholes, but there are actually enough deals that are mostly processed in the quiet little room or sports directors who can manipulate the club-related media in a targeted manner for other exclusive information in exchange (we know both too well from Röckenhaus & Watzke).
Jovic on paper is less risky for the conditions can be a good deal, but Florence is also explicitly looking for a final player after Vlahovic’s departure and with match practice it could be a win-win situation. In larger clubs, he would simply be a risk in view of the goal/game balance (since he would definitely take a place in the squad, wants to play and is not “polyvalent”) and possibly too one-dimensional in profile for better midfield teams with almost normal salary cuts often not without risk. The fact that Florence, with a strengthened financial background, got “horror conditions” for Real doesn’t surprise me anywhere. Florence and Balkan player is a similar “great” combo as in Frankfurt and the Jovic profile should not be worth more in any top 5 league (if potential is called up) than in Serie A.
