Eyebrows were raised when Eintrecht Frankfurt sold Sebastian Haller to West Ham United for a fee of £45 Million, not just because he is a top striker, but because Eintrecht had already sold Luka Jovic to Real Madrid for £62 Million only a couple of weeks before. Jovic and Haller had 'ripped up' the Bundesliga between them in a stunning season which saw them share 57 goals along with Ante Rebic's contribution.
Fast forward a little over two months and there is a distinct possibility that Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic could join AC Milan on loan, it seems that Jovic's game in particular relied on the service that Haller was able to provide. Deprived of Haller's assists, Jovic looked has looked an isolated figure at the Bernabéu from the moment he arrived, and reports claiming Zinedine Zidane isn't convinced with the Serbian striker have been emanating from the Spanish giants for some time now.
It has been further suggested that Real Madrid's club president, Florentino Pérez, had been the driving force behind the recruitment of Luka Jovic and that 'future' business was dependant on a successful outcome of Jovic's transfer from Eintrecht to Real. Hammers fans will be pleased to know that even at one of the top clubs in the World suffers from interference by it's hierarchy, It appears what Perez wants, Perez gets. However if Zinedine Zidane continues to not select the player, Perez will have to cede to the situation and send a very expensive 'mistake' out on loan.
As we have said on many occasions, "be careful what you wish for!" Real Madrid fans wished, and look what they got! - Ed
