On the final day of the 2012/13 Serie A season, Fiorentina travelled to Pescara knowing that a victory over the Delfini and AC Milan failing to overcome Siena would see the Viola secure a place in the Champions League next season. In the end, their 5-1 win over the bottom placed side needn’t have mattered as a late Philippe Mexes strike ensured Milan would be plying their continental trade in Europe’s elite competition again next year. It was tough for Fiorentina to take, especially with potential suitors for striker Stevan Jovetic circling like eagles, ready to pounce on their weakened prey. In the end, despite interest from Arsenal and Juventus, it was Manchester City who secured the signature of the Montenegro international earlier this month. Yet, regardless of losing a key asset, the Italian side have strengthened considerably this summer already to counteract the loss of the 23-year-old.
