(Reuters) - French champions AS Monaco have signed striker Stevan Jovetic from Italy's Inter Milan on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee, the Ligue 1 and Serie A clubs said on Tuesday. Montenegro international Jovetic joined Inter Milan from Manchester City on a permanent basis in January after an 18-month loan spell at the Italian club. AS Monaco is a big club that played in the semi-finals of the Champions League and won the French title last season. (www.asmonaco.com)French media reports say that Jovetic could replace Monaco's young striker Kylian Mbappe, who is close to joining French league rivals Paris St Germain. Jovetic becomes Monaco's ninth signing of the summer after the arrival of midfielders Youri Tielemans and Soualiho Meite and defender Terence Kongolo.
