We'll sell you a Fiorentina steak but not Jovetic, Italians tell Chelsea

Chelsea have had an approach for teenage forward Steven Jovetic rejected by Fiorentina. The Montenegro international, 19, came on as a substitute during the Champions League tie against Sporting Lisbon this week and equalised almost immediately. Jovetic's display impressed Chelsea scout Carlo Jacomuzzi who spoke to Fiorentina sporting directior Pantaleo Corvino about the player's availability. Corvino said: 'If you want, I'll give you a Florentine steak, but for Jovetic, there is no price for Fiorentina - he is unsellable.' Jovetic joined Fiorentina from Partizan Belgrade last summer for a fee of £6m.
