Real Madrid Transfers: Top 5 Destinations for Luka Jovic
By AJ Desai
West Ham United
West Ham United struggled this season but did what they had to remain in the Premier League. They beat Chelsea 3-2 and Watford 3-1 to avoid any chance of relegation. However, David Gold needs to do something to make the Hammers attack more potent.
Fans are calling to sell Felipe Anderson because Grady Diangana can replace Anderson who tallied eight goals and seven assists compared to Anderson’s one goal and four assists this season. Enter Luka Jovic. This would be another potential location for Jovic as he tries to revitalize his career. Luka Jovic and Grady Diangana can link up and most likely improve West Ham United’s attack. Also, Sebastian Haller just so happens to be there.
Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton were very close in competing for the Europa League. However, they lost the 6th place spot to Tottenham who were three goals ahead them in goal difference. Wanderers ended up finish 7th place. With players like Adama Traore, Matt Doherty, and Ruben Neves, it should allow Wolverhampton to add another striker as Raul Jimenez ages over time. A two-year loan with an option to buy would be clever here for Madrid.
If Jovic performs, Madrid can recoup the 62M they paid for him in 2019. However, Madrid’s motive is not to sell Jovic, but if they get the right price, they may think about it, and pursue Mbappe next summer. That way, Madrid have Benzema and Mbappe as their strikers after the 2021 window closes. Obviously, Benzema is showing no signs of slowing down. His performance nearly doubled after Cristiano Ronaldo departed the club.
