Standard Liege striker Milan Jovanovic has revealed that Liverpool are battling AC Milan for his signature and that another big European club have also made contact.
The 28-year-old forward is out of contract with Les Rouches at the end of the season and is fully expected to move on a free during the summer with Rafael Benitez monitoring the situation.
Voted the Jupiler League’s Player of the Year for 2009, Jovanovic played a major role in his side’s second consecutive league title last season and has been Standard’s stand out player this term, notching 10 goals in 19 appearances.
"News that I have already said yes to AC Milan are not correct," Jovanovic is reported to have said this week. "I am still waiting, I haven't decided.
"Also because AC Milan are not the only club interested in me. There is also Liverpool and another big European club.
"I repeat - my options are still very open."
Liverpool have been linked with a number of possible attacking recruits in recent weeks and with news of Fernando Torres’ latest injury setback it is expected that Rafael Benitez will act quickly to secure back-up.
Bordeaux’s Marouane Chamakh is another possible target, while former Liverpool forward Emile Heskey has also been touted as a short-term option for the Anfield outfit.
