MADRID – Luka Jovic will play on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt until June 30 with the intention of looking for the minutes he is not having at Real Madrid.
Both clubs made the transfer official on Wednesday morning.
“Real Madrid CF and Eintracht Frankfurt have agreed to the transfer of player Luka Jović until the end of this season,” the white club confirmed in a statement.
According to ESPN, the interest of the German club dates back to the summer, but Madrid then rejected the request for lack of cash and cash to undertake the signing of a replacement guarantee.
Jovic returns to the team that allowed him to make the leap to Real Madrid for 60 million euros. In the 2018/19 season, the striker scored 27 goals that helped him attract the attention of Liverpool, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid itself.
However, Jovic has had neither a good performance nor the regularity he himself was asking Zidane to teach the level he showed in the Bundesliga. In fact, in this year and a half, the Serb has barely started in eight games and has only scored two goals, against Leganés and Osasuna.
Zidane came out in his defense repeatedly in the face of criticism for his behavior both on and off the court. The French coach even went so far as to publicly admit that he specifically asked for his signing after his big season at Eintracht but the truth is that in recent times even Mariano seemed ahead of him. ‘Serbian in their preferences.
In this way, Zidane has given the green light for the Serb to resume his good feelings at the club where he enjoyed the most although the whites will be left with only two specific strikers like Benzema and Mariano for the second round of the season.
