The Serb has returned to Frankfurt on loan for the rest of the season
He caught the attention of Europe’s big guns with an impressive 36 goals in 75 appearances on loan at Frankfurt to help fire them to the DFB Cup in 2018.
Wolves and Chelsea were just two of those linked with a swoop for the Serbian hotshot.
It was Madrid who won the race for his signature as he joined them on a six-year contract in a whopping £58million move from Benfica in the summer of 2019.
But Jovic has netted just twice in 32 games since his arrival at the LaLiga champions.
And his problems have not only been on the pitch in Spain.
He landed himself in hot water in his homeland last year for allegedly breaking lockdown rules back in March.
Serbian prosecutors were demanding that he be sentenced to six months in jail for ‘not complying with health protocols after his return from Spain’.
Jovic was believed to have travelled from Madrid to Belgrade in order to visit his then pregnant girlfriend Sofija Milosevic.

Pictures circulated on social media of the couple supposedly walking the streets of Serbia’s capital city.
According to his father Milan, the snaps were actually taken in Spain, but he did admit that his son had returned to his native country.
Now he will be hoping to put all of the issues from the past 18 months behind him as the ex-Red Star Belgrade ace looks to re-ignite his career.
