When Luka Jovic, 22, arrived at Real Madrid last summer, he carried the scoring label and the idea of being an alternative to Benzema. The goals at the Eintracht in Frankfurt from the player partially trained at Benfica led him to believe that he could be Real's new number nine.
A year later, the striker is considered a disappointment by everyone. In such a way that the club is officially open to proposals by him. If the initial idea was to borrow it to win minutes of play, now it seems that even that hypothesis is ruled out. And even if that is happening to other players on the squad, in the case of Jovic we are talking about an expensive signing from one of the most powerful clubs in the world.
The newspaper "Marca" highlights the "cold and reserved" character of the Serbian player, who also should not have helped his perfect integration into the team. At the beginning of the season, he was given opportunities but they disappeared with the weak response of the striker on the field.
In addition to the sports component, Luka Jovic has been acting strangely in recent months. First, he went to Serbia during the confinement. He returned injured, participated in a barbecue with Maksimovic, from Getafe, and Saponjic, from Atlético de Madrid, disrespecting the protocol of the league. Jovic also visited a friend who, the next day, tested positive for Covid-19. At that time, the Serbian warned the club's medical services, who put him in isolation at home, which Jovic respected.
Real Madrid paid 60 million euros for the player, with very poor sports results. With only two goals scored and despite having Zidane's support, it seems unlikely that Luka Jovic will remain in Madrid. Still, there should be no shortage of clubs interested in their services.
He was a great player at bundeshliga. But, it is so sad that such a talent is wasted by a Real Madrid.
