Luka Jovic, who joined Real Madrid for 63 million euros in 2019, has scored just three goals in 49 appearances for the Spanish giants. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt, and managed four goals in 18 Bundesliga appearances. The Eagles decided against signing him permanently then, but now the 24 year old reportedly wants to return to the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund are looking for a new striker to replace Erling Haaland, who is likely to leave in the summer. RB Salzburg’s Benjamin Sesko, Stade de Reims’ Hugo Ekitike and Sparta Prague’s Adam Hlozek are said to be on their list of potential targets to replace the Norwegian international.
