Juve, Elkann: "Jovetic is a great player. We should buy him, not talk about it"

Fiat chairman takes a stance on Fiorentina's star striker then jokes: "Him and Higuain together? Then why not Messi and Ronaldo?"

"Jovetic is a great player. We should sign him without spending too much time talking about it." So said John Elkann, chairman of Fiat and Exor, on the sidelines of the 'Crescere tra le righe' conference in Borgo di Bagnaia in the province of Siena. "As Juventus have shown, if you want to win you need to have clear ideas, be compact and have a strong desire to succeed. I like Juve. They've won two titles in the last two years, have an excellent team, a coach who has made it clear that he's got the determination to carry on and we have great ambitions for the future. Jovetic? He's a great player. We should buy him without spending too much time talking about it." Elkann was then asked about the possibility of seeing Higuain and Jovetic side by side at Juventus. "And why not Messi then? Why not Ronaldo too?" Elkann quipped. Finally, when asked to comment on the managerial merry-go-round other clubs are currently involved in, he joked: "It's understandable, they didn't win the Scudetto."
