Now Serbian magazine Republika suggest he will return to Eintracht for six months with NO option to buy. 

Jovic has netted just twice in 32 games since joining Real from Benfica for €60million - about £54m.

Yet he made the switch after a sensational second year on loan for Eintracht in 2018-19.

Apart from 17 goals in 32 Bundesliga matches, he also struck ten times in 14 Europa League games that season.

Jovic, though, has never come close to unseating Karim Benzema as Real's main frontman.

Bernabeu boss Zinedine Zidane has little direct cover for 33-year-old Benzema, only ex-Lyon star Mariano Diaz, 27.

That just leaves deeper-lying attackers like Eden Hazard and Marco Asensio.  

So the fact Real seem ready to offload Jovic shows just how far the former Red Star Belgrade ace has slipped out of the picture.
