“Since the start of the season we have said that we are not selling Jovetic,”
“There is, however, an agreement with the player that (should we get an offer) above a certain figure, we will sit down and evaluate the offer.
“So far we have not received an offer for the player.
“He is a top player and we will only consider offers above 30million euros.
“He has the potential to become a player like (Roma icon) Francesco Totti.”
Prade is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is drawing up a short list of potential replacements for striker Robin van Persie, who’s faces an uncertain future at the Emirates, and Jovetic is believed to be one of the names under consideration.
