Luka Jović was the star of the match with his brilliant brace in AC Milan’s 3-0 victory over Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg. He is now the most effective striker for AC Milan, putting him back on track for a contract extension with the club.

The Serbian striker scored a spectacular header ten minutes before the end of the first half and added his second goal five minutes into the second half, bringing his tally to four goals in his last five matches. With an average of one goal every 106.5 minutes, Jović has the best goal-to-minute ratio among AC Milan’s current strikers, including Santiago Giménez, Tammy Abraham, and Francesco Camarda.

How Can AC Milan Extend Jović’s Contract?

According to Calcio Mercato, AC Milan still has the option to extend Jović’s contract for another year. His current deal expires at the end of the season. However, two key factors must be considered:

First, the selection and approval of the club’s new sporting director. AC Milan will meet again with Igli Tare, former Lazio director, on Thursday, and he remains the leading candidate for the position.

Second, AC Milan must activate the contract extension clause for Jović before the second week of July, as this clause in his contract will expire after that date.
