His impressive displays earned him a \u00a356.7 million (\u20ac60 million) move to Real Madrid, but his time in the Spanish capital has been disappointing.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">During his time with <em>Los Blancos<\/em>, the Serbian has managed just two goals from 32 appearances, with both coming last season. Jovic has managed just six league appearances this season.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Jovic has struggled with injuries since his switch to Spain. A hip problem, foot injury and tear in his abductor muscle have all resulted in spells on the sideline. Not to mention, the forward has also <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2020\/11\/20\/luka-jovic-tests-positive-for-covid-19\/\" target=\"_self\">tested positive for COVID-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Jovic at Frankfurt<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The loan spell at Frankfurt proved the most fruitful of his career to date. From 75 matches, Jovic netted an incredible 36 goals for <em>Die Adler<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">During his time in Frankfurt, Jovic won the DFB-Pokal in 2018, and remains the youngest ever player in the Bundesliga to score five goals in one game when his side won 7-1 against Fortuna D\u00fcsseldorf.<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">What Was Said<\/h3>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.eintracht.de\/news\/detail\/?id=record-130255-en\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speaking to the clubs&#8217; official website,<\/a> board member Fredi Bobic said: &#8220;Luka hasn\u2019t had an easy time of late in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cIt\u2019s important for him to find his form again. He had a strong desire to return to Eintracht.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cLuka can use the next few months to get back to his best in an environment that\u2019s familiar to him. Real Madrid know that he\u2019ll be well looked after with us and can continue his development. And for us, it\u2019s clear that we have another outstanding option at centre-forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"gQWh7cZGTYRrOPS-L4_B7Q\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1229676548\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'gQWh7cZGTYRrOPS-L4_B7Q',sig:'dWYXAMFdt5P4bjUPhWzCqA8ij8_iOt26Ka8El7LIpSs=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1229676548',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt have signed Serbian striker Luka Jovic from Real Madrid on loan until the end of the 2020\/21 season.
