Luka Jović’s torrid time in Madrid

Luka Joviu0107 was hot property after the 2018/19 season when he had scored 27 times in 46 games for Eintracht Frankfurt, including 10 in 14 Europa League outings as his side reached the semi-finals. With many top clubs including the likes of Liverpool and FC Barcelona having shown interest in the striker at some point, it was almost certain that he was going to leave Germany in the summer of 2019.

He did just that by signing for Real Madrid for a reported €60 million on a six-year-contract, with the plan being that he would compete with Karim Benzema for a starting spot.
