LUKA JOVIC is set to join Fiorentina on a two-year deal, according to reports.
The striker, 24, signed for Real Madrid three years ago in a huge £52million move from Eintracht Frankfurt.
But he failed to make an impression, scoring just THREE goals in 51 appearances for Los Blancos.
As a result, the club have decided to let him go on a free transfer despite the fact he still has three years remaining on his contract.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Fiorentina have agreed to sign Jovic on a permanent deal.
The two clubs originally discussed the prospect of a loan, but Real Madrid decided to negotiate a 50 per cent sell-on clause instead.
