3 reasons why Real Madrid decided to loan out Luka Jovic

3 reasons why Real Madrid decided to loan out Luka Jovic in the winter transfer market to Eintracht Frankfurt.

It’s been a week or so since Luka Jovic completed his return to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan. However, it has not taken long for the Serbian striker to settle down at the club where it all began for him.

In his debut appearance, Jovic struck twice in great fashion to help Frankfurt beat Schalke 04. The 23-year-old was brought on with 30 minutes to play and a scoreline of 1-1. Despite the lack of minutes at Madrid, Jovic did not seem rusty at all with the ball, off the ball, and in front of goal against Schalke 04.

This was Luka Jovic’s first club goal in over 11 months and his brace against Schalke 04 has now equaled the same number of goals he’s scored for Los Blancos in a season and a half. His confidence will certainly be soaring right now and the next six months will be crucial for the Serbian to turn his career around.

So why did Real Madrid exactly loan out Luka Jovic in a season where the club is struggling to score goals?

TO BOOST HIS CONFIDENCE

Jovic arrived at Real after a stellar campaign with Eintracht Frankfurt scoring 27 goals in all competitions. But what followed was certainly not expected. Injuries, off-field issues, and then the eventual fall-out with Zinedine Zidane. His confidence was shattered as he the 23-year-old had too much on his plate to deal with and did not have the same support he once had at Frankfurt.

The return to Frankfurt was to bring back that confidence that Jovic has in his capabilities. We can already see it as the Serbian bagged a brace in his brace and will look forward to scoring plenty more during the remainder of the season.
