However, <a href="https://as.com/futbol/primera/el-getafe-activa-la-operacion-jovic-n/" target="_blank"><em>AS</em></a> reports the club would need to offload players to afford his €3 million salary demands. Getafe could look to offload strikers Borja Mayoral and Christantus Uche to create room in the budget and the squad.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The striker, who started only six Serie A games last season, was not considered a part of the future project at Milan and his contract was not renewed. Taking advantage of the situation, Mexican side Cruz Azul made a lucrative offer to bring him to Liga MX. Jovic even spoke with Milan team-mate and Mexican international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/mexico-santiago-gimenez-ac-milan-teammate-luka-jovic-cruz-azul/blt3243034bbbb8008e" target="_blank">Santiago Gimenez to learn more about the club</a>.</p>
