Former AC Milan forward Luka Jovic has officially sealed a move to AEK Athens, signing a contract that runs through June 2027. The Serbian striker joins as a free agent following the expiration of his deal with Milan earlier this summer, as confirmed by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano.
Jovic is set to arrive in Athens on August 4 to finalize formalities and begin preseason integration. The deal was orchestrated by AEK sporting director Javier Ribalta, who played a central role in convincing the 26-year-old to choose the Greek champions as his next destination.
Despite recent speculation linking Jovic with a switch to Spanish side Oviedo, sources close to the negotiations have confirmed those talks never materialized into a serious offer. AEK remained the only club with firm intent, ultimately winning the race for the striker’s signature.
Jovic’s move signals AEK’s ambition to strengthen their attacking depth ahead of a demanding domestic and European campaign. For the player, it’s a chance to reboot his career in a system designed to get him more consistent minutes and restore his goal-scoring touch.
