The first games of the 20/21 example for Real Madrid were not easy. The current champion of Spain has already set a world match with the Society (0: 0) and has tortured the toughest victory over Betis (3: 2). Then he got two more victories over Valladolid (1: 0) and Levante (2: 0). Madrid’s main shooter, the timeless Karim Benzema, has scored a goal so far, and his substitutes can go pumping in Italy (Jovic and Mayoral), or practically not go out to warm up the bench (Mariano Díaz). Zidane also does not spoil the Spanish and the Serbian with playing time, and this despite the fact that one of them was acquired as the main successor of the French star and cost Madrid the impressive figure of 60 million.
Luka Jovic is the main disappointment of the current Real Madrid. The Serbian was honored with only two boring benches, and this is almost 900 minutes on the field. Only an expensive Belgian who loves burgers and isn’t too busy with training can argue with him. But if Azar has many problems in Madrid caused by being overweight and his unwillingness to work, then the Serbian has a whole range of reasons that prevent him from expressing himself.
Real Madrid sent 60 million euros to Frankfurt. For what?
Even initially, this treatment seemed a bit strange. First of all, Jovic only had a decent Bundesliga season behind him, and the Serb had already received an invite for the whites. An improvement too strong for a young forward who has just declared himself publicly.
Second, the price of the 21-year-old Serbian was very hard, even despite the reality of the modern market. It is surprising that Real did not even try to lower the price by paying the required amount almost immediately. Zidane probably insisted personally on the deal, that he wished to have another striker in the cage to replace his beloved compatriot.
Third, not long ago, Madrid have already been burned when buying a new striker. Mariano returned to the team, having left Lyon in the summer of 2018. Not only did he return, but also with what ambitions! I decided to take the proud “seven”, but I did not become a new Ronaldo for the “Real” – he immediately swam and immediately sat on the reserve.

Why is everything so bad?
Since his move to Madrid, Jovic has lost almost half of his value. Now the Serbian is worth only 32 million, while in “Eintracht” its price reached the elite 60 million. This is because the forward stopped scoring altogether and also ruined his reputation hard.
In many ways, the scoring drought is associated with a banal lack of play practice. The coronavirus also intervened (Luka swam in the pool with an infected friend and was forced to isolate himself), and more family injuries, which also left the Serbian out of work. Now they say that one of the reasons is the introverted character of Jovic, but all this is only at the level of rumors and may well differ from reality.
The difference in the number of goals compared to the German figures is a disaster. But if you pay attention to the advanced statistics, then, for example, the level of expected goals (xG) remained more or less the same: 0.6 at Real Madrid and 0.65 at Eintracht (90 minutes). But Jovic’s implementation is not as good as it was in the Bundesliga.
Yes, the amount of playing minutes (877) for a full season at Real is not great, but the Serbian definitely had his chances. Zidane gave the opportunity to prove himself, and Luca, as a rule, came out and did not give a result even against rather mediocre opponents. If you want to play more, go out there and try, and don’t hang around the field like Casper’s ghost. A striking example is the cup match against Zaragoza (4: 0). Here everyone was talking not about the crushing victory of the “creamy”, but about how gloomy and defenseless the Serbian forward looked when he started.
But what to say about the game, if it were at the Luca stadium it was far from being an example to follow. First, he left his wife, model Angela Manitashevich, who gave birth to their son in 2019. Relations with Angela lasted almost from childhood, but Jovic traded her for 29-year-old Sofia Milosevic, another model who was already there. having romances with soccer players. By the way, it was because of her that Luka had problems with Real in the future.
To be fair, the situation with the models had nothing to do with the club, therefore it is not worth discussing Luka’s personal life in the context of his gambling crisis. However, all this was exactly up to the moment when, during the quarantine period, Jovic asked the Madrid board to let him go to Serbia. The “Real” did not retain Luca in Spain and went to meet his striker, with the promise that he would stay home and limit his contacts with friends. All this was easily neglected by Jovic and decided to have the most fun at his new girlfriend’s birthday party. In Serbia, the strictest quarantine regime was in place, and Luka, along with a group of friends and acquaintances, frolicked in the pool and did their best to get it online. As a result, all the details of the match ended up on the Internet and Real Madrid obviously did not like it. Jovic was not only threatened with criminal punishment, but also had to undergo tests, while observing the strictest self-isolation.
Jovic’s future in Madrid is a fog
Rumors persisted that the irresponsible Serb could leave Real Madrid and go on loan to one of the Serie A clubs. Among the main contenders were Milan, Inter and Roma. But the transfer did not take place.

“Sometimes I watch videos of my games last season and I wonder: ‘What happened?’ This question was asked by Jovic in one of his interviews. It seems that those thoughts only bother him, and it is very possible that in Italy Luca will fail and return to Madrid. Yet hardly anyone is seriously considering buying a Serb. “Real” will somehow try to beat the 60 millionth contract, but no more than 30 million will be offered by Jovic, so the most realistic option is a lease. Probably already in winter.
Maybe Real still have a great striker in their ranks. Jovic is only 22 years old and quite capable of development. But at the moment everything seems that Madrid have acquired a boy oblivious to any restrictions, and sometimes to football in general.
