On a loan deal, Luka Jovic has rejoined his former club Eintracht Frankfurt, confirmed Real Madrid, until the end of the current campaign.
In a reported €60m deal Los Blancos signed the 22-year-old from Frankfurt in the summer of 2019 but has struggled to settle in the Spanish capital.
Jovic was unable to dislodge Karim Benzema as the club’s central striker and he has subsequently been at the heart of Real Madrid transfer news due to his lack of game-time.
Jovic only appeared in total of four league matches last season – his debut campaign in Spain – and has started just twice in La Liga this campaign, playing only 149 minutes in the division over the club’s first 15 rounds of action.
Helping Bundesliga club to fire them into the last four of the Europa League the Serbian striker netted 27 goals in the 2018/19 campaign – but has been unable to replicate that form in Madrid.
This summer he will return to Los Blancos but his long-term future remains unclear.
