After 27 goals in a season with Eintracht Frankfurt, Jovic was seen as the answer to Madrid's goalscoring troubles after a barren first season without Cristiano Ronaldo and earned a 60 million euro move to Madrid last year, aged 21.
Coach Zinedine Zidane took a leap of faith by starting him alongside Karim Benzema against Real Betis and Real Valladolid but Jovic failed to score, with Madrid finding their winning goals on both occasions after he had come off. "Jovic was far better than on other days, he no longer looks like a confused tourist but instead a proper centre forward, albeit one with little luck," said Spanish newspaper AS.
Despite giving Jovic two starts in a row, Zidane still seems unconvinced by the player, refusing to say after the Valladolid game whether or not the forward would still be in the squad before the transfer window shuts next Monday.
