Luka Jovic It seemed like a good signing. The Serbian landed in Madrid in 2019 after a tough battle between him Real Madrid, Bara, Chelsea and Bayern. Everyone wanted the striker, who fell for the goals at Eintracht (27 goals in 18-19) and for whom the whites, a year after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, they paid 65 million euros. It came as a complement to Benzema, to increase the scoring count of a team that had remained with the French as the only reference in attack. Two years later, Jovic has only celebrated two goals, in his first season, against Legans and Osasuna. For this reason, and due to his adaptation problems, Madrid listens to offers for him. Although its value has plummeted (from 60 to 20 million in two years), in the white club they believe that he is one of the players for whom they can make money. The goal is paid and Jovic, in his day, he had it.
The striker, however, did not want them to cash with him. ask for a new opportunity. He does not want to leave and wants to show that he can play for Madrid. He is aware that he has not offered anything that was expected of him, but when talking about his time at Madrid take hold of the statistics. In two seasons it only adds 1,014 minutes spread over 32 games, which barely comes out at half an hour per game. Jovic believes that Zidane never really gave him a chance and it is what Carlo Ancelotti hopes to give him. He doesn’t ask to start, but he does go out on the field regularly, not one game out of five.
In Madrid, no player will be forced to leave, since the subject of the cards has him more or less on track. Right now the first squad is made up of 27 players, so only two exits are necessary, three if it lands Mbapp. A sure one is that of Kubo, whose continuity is impossible because of the passports. And for the other there are multiple candidates, like Vallejo, Ceballos or Isco himself. Neither does Odegaard have them all with him and at this point his departure cannot be ruled out.
Another chance against Milan
On Sunday, against Milan, in the last pre-season friendly, Jovic will have a new opportunity to vindicate himself. He already had minutes against Rangers and It is true that I did not leave good feelings as part of the starting elevenAlthough it is true that he had some physical problems and that he had barely had two training sessions with the group that week. For Sunday we expect more shot to arrive.
For now Ancelotti has him and hopes that he will improve his performance, but being aware that he is one of those players who can lose along the way. Summer is long and until the market closes everything can happen in a team that continues to dream of the arrival of Mbapp, the player who can change everything this summer.
