10 Players You Didn't Know Nearly Signed For Inter Milan

7. Stevan Jovetic

Some clubs just don€™t know when to quit. Inter Milan have not attempted once, not twice, but thrice, to persuade Stefan Jovetic to join the Nerazzurri, with the most recent bid tabled during the summer following an injury-plagued debut season at Manchester City. The £22 million Montenegrin international still has much to prove in the Premier League, but he is highly-rated in Italy, having spent five successful seasons with Fiorentina. Inter Milan were seemingly put out by Jovetic€™s decision to sign for the Eastlands outfit last year, but that didn€™t deter them, tabling two unsuccessful offers for him last campaign. Unsurprisingly, the third bid, reported to be in the region of £18 million, was met with the third fate as the previous two, and the former Fiorentina ace has remained a Sky Blue.

''Stevan is working fine with us. He۪s a very important player for our team. Perhaps there are many rumours on his future, but Stefan will stay with us.۪۪ - Manuel Pellegrini, July 2014.
