At the club they are concerned about the low level offered by the Serbian in his first season and also about his extra-sports problems. At the same time, they are sure that at 22 years of age the situation is perfectly retractable.
That is why they have decided to seek a loan for him to regain the lost trust. A club in which you play 40 games. With Benzema's current level (he started with four goals against Getafe) it is difficult for Jovic to have under Zidane's orders the continuity he needs to regain his best level.
Once the decision to leave on loan has been made, the difficult thing now is to find a perfect destination.

He has been training with the rest of his teammates for weeks and his work and professionalism dazzle Zizou. At the moment, the idea is that he is called up against Real Sociedad in the first league game. And his continuity in the squad is on the table …
