Four clubs interested in ’fed up’ Real Madrid striker

When Luka Jovic signed for Real Madrid in 2019, he was thought to be the next big striker in Los Blancos’ history. The Eintracht Frankfurt forward scored 27 goals in his last season at the club and garnered a €60 million price tag with his formidable numbers.

However, things went downhill for the Serbian since his move to Spain. In his first season at the club, he only scored two goals and provided one assist. In 2020-21, he failed to produce any goal contributions before being loaned back to Eintracht Frankfurt for the second half of the season.

This season, Jovic has played in 13 games and managed only one goal and two assists. Carlo Ancelotti does not trust the Serbian. He is ‘fed up’ of his situation, and wants to move in the summer.

According to reports from MARCA, several clubs from the European top flight have expressed their interest in the 24-year-old.

Arsenal and Everton from the Premier League are two of the interested parties and wish to snap him up in the summer. From Italy, AC Milan have emerged as a strong possibility too.

Moreover, Jovic has also been identified by Borussia Dortmund as a backup option if the deal for Karim Adeyemi breaks down.

Real Madrid are said to be open to the idea of loaning the player with a purchase clause attached. The fee they are looking for is said to be around the €20 million ballpark.

Looking ahead to next season, Jovic’s loss is not expected to make a big difference to the squad strength. The potential arrivals of Kylian Mbappe and possibly Erling Haaland provide the team with sufficient cover in the forward department.
