Milan Jovanovic's agent has played down speculation that the Serbia star could be on the move in January.

Jovanovic is out of contract at Standard Liege at the end of the season and there is speculation that the Belgian champions could be open to selling the forward in January, rather than risk losing him for nothing next summer.

Everton have held a long-term interest in the striker, while Birmingham are thought to be in the market for a new forward in the January transfer window.

The striker has also been linked to Aston Villa, Atletico Madrid, Roma and Stuttgart, while Valencia were thought to have been close to sealing a deal for the forward to move in January.

But the Serb's agent Torsten Weck told calciomercato.it that the player will not be going anywhere in the New Year.

Interest

Weck said: "I heard about the interest of Roma but I had no direct contact with this club.

"The only contacts I have had are with the Germans and the Spanish club, Valencia, in the first place.

"The player will not go anywhere in January, but will remain until June because Standard Liege have played in the Champions League and therefore Jovanovic couldn't play for another club in the competition this season."
