According to German newspapers PICTURE, Luka Jovic refused to move to AC Milan because he was worried he would not get regular match time due to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The 23-year-old joined Eintracht Frankfurt on loan from Real Madrid in this January transfer window, but Milan have apparently attempted to sign him on a temporary contract until the end of the season.
According to the report, West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers have also joined the race to sign the Serbia international who will eventually return to Germany.
PICTURE reports Jovic turned down the opportunity to move to Milan because he feared he would not get regular playing time and play ahead of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
The Swede himself missed a month and a half with a muscle injury, but earlier this week he scored twice in the first Serie A Serie A match he started on November 22.
The 39-year-old has scored 13 goals in just the same appearances as Diavoli so far this season. Milan finally signed former Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic to support the Swede.
Jovic himself after being loaned to Frankfurt immediately managed to score two goals during his debut match against Schalke on Monday (18/1) in the morning of Indonesia.
Jovic actually started the match from the bench. The new Serbian coach was added by coach Adolf Huetter in the 62nd minute to replace Erik Dum. At that time the score was still 1-1.
Frankfurt took the lead in the 28th minute through Andre Silva, before finally being replied by Schalke through Matthew Hoppe’s goal a minute later.
Jovic also showed his sharp instincts in front of goal on 72 minutes. Receiving a pass from the left side, his hard right foot shot successfully broke into Schalke’s goal and changed the score to 2-1 for Frankfurt.
Jovic showed his class again in injury time after he calmly outwitted defender Schalke before firing off a close-range shot that completed Frankfurt’s 3-1 win.
