Manchester City are being encouraged by Fiorentina to try again for Stevan Jovetic.

La Nazione says City and Chelsea made enquiries after the Montenegro international during the January market, but received short shrift from Fiorentina.

Now everything has changed and the Viola are eager to cash in at a starting price of £17 million.

Agents believe City are more likely to be willing to meet Fiorentina's asking price than Chelsea when the market opens next month.
