Between Luka Jovic and Real Madrid, the point of no return seems to have been reached. The Serb is fed up with it and will do everything to leave this summer.
The attackers pass, but Karim Benzema stays. At Real Madrid since 2009, the French center-forward has seen several competitors land. Gonzalo Higuain, Emmanuel Adebayor, Chicharito Hernandez and Alvaro Morata, to name a few, all fell for the player trained at Olympique Lyonnais. A long list to which Luka Jovic will be added. Recruited by the Merengues in the summer of 2019 for 60 million euros, the Serb was to be the understudy or even the No. 1 competitor of KB9.
On the field, the native of Bijeljina had a difficult first year with only 8 starts in 27 matches in all competitions (2 goals and 2 assists). Outside, he also had difficulties when he broke the confinement rules in March 2020 in order to return to Serbia to participate in a party with his partner. Jovic was facing six months in prison for this case. The following season, he was only used 5 times (0 goals) until the break.
Jovic has to settle for crumbs
Too little for the footballer born in 97. To find playing time and above all confidence, he returned to Eintracht Frankfurt in the form of a loan in January 2021. After 4 goals in 8 starts ( 18 matches played), he returned to the Casa Blanca with the hope that the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti to replace Zinedine Zidane will redistribute the cards. But there again, Luka Jovic was disillusioned. It must be said that it is difficult for him to exist next to a KB9 on fire.
Result: he was established only twice in seventeen appearances in all competitions. The time to score 1 goal and deliver 2 assists. The Serb must be content with crumbs, he who spent only 484 minutes on the pitch. It has not been used by Ancelotti since February 12. The former PSG coach also preferred to start Rodrygo on Sunday during the Clasico in the absence of Karim Benzema.
The Serb wants to leave
He also opted for Mariano Diaz when making changes. The straw for Jovic, yet very present in the Madrid group. According to brand, the Serb is fed up with his situation. The Spanish publication adds that the player does not intend to stay, he who does not enter into the plans of Ancelotti and the club. He will therefore pack his bags this summer, it remains to be seen in what form. Under contract until 2025, the 24-year-old could be loaned or sold. No option is excluded.
Especially since several teams are ready to come to his aid. Some have already looked into his case in January without going any further. This time, the situation will be different since the player wants to leave. Arsenal, Everton and AC Milan are cited as strong suitors. There is also Borussia Dortmund, which will seek to replace Erling Haaland, justly courted by the Merengues. If the Adeyemi track has priority, Jovic is not ruled out. In an impasse in Madrid, the Serb is therefore patiently waiting for the summer to arrive to take to their heels and resume the thread of his career.
