STEVAN JOVETIC is on the verge of a £27million Manchester City move.
Only personal terms have to be finalised — with the striker, 23, eyeing a five-year £120,000-a-week Etihad deal.
SunSport revealed last Tuesday how City boss Manuel Pellegrini wanted the Fiorentina ace to replace Carlos Tevez.
A source close to the Montenegro star said: “It’s pretty much sorted he’ll go to City.
“They just have to sort his contract. It shouldn’t be a big problem.”
Jovetic’s agents have been in England talking to interested parties, with City seeing off Liverpool, who can not offer Champions League football.
Pellegrini argued on Wednesday that City have to stop spending big and bring youngsters through.
But he was involved in the purchases of Jesus Navas and Fernandinho, while Jovetic will take his spending above £70m.
