AC Milan in pole position to land Real Madrid flop Luka Jovic as back up to Zlatan Ibrahimovic


AC MILAN have reportedly bid to take Luka Jovic on loan from Real Madrid after the Serb’s nightmare debut season in Spain.

A tally of just two goals in 27 appearances was hardly befitting of a striker who cost over £50million when signing from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer.

And Jovic’s future is up in the air as Real consider shuffling their pack for the new season.

According to Tuttosport, Los Blancos are pondering a loan offer from Milan.

The two clubs have recently been in contact over Brahim Diaz’s temporary switch to the San Siro, allowing Milan to discuss Jovic’s situation.

Having first been keen on the 22-year-old when Ralf Rangnick was set to take over as coach, coach Stefano Pioli is now thought to also be interested in bringing him in.

A forward such as Jovic is seen as key for Milan to challenge on both the domestic and European front next season.

Particularly with star striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic turning 39 in a month.

The Swede returned to the club in January and extended his contract for another year in the week.

After forking out for Brescia starlet Sandro Tonali, the Rossoneri are expected to resort to loan deals for the rest of the window.

Former Chelsea loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko is reportedly on their radar, as well as Federico Chiesa of Fiorentina.
