It is a loan for the next six months, so if everything goes according to plan, he would return in the summer for the preseason. Last Wednesday the final details were finalized, the medical examination passed and the agreement was signed.

Fredi bobic, Eintracht sports director, explained the signing through an official statement published by the club: “Luka did not have anything easy in Madrid lately. For him, it is important to get back into the good dynamics. Going back to Eintracht was his great wish. You can take advantage of the next few months in a family environment to regain your level. At Real Madrid they know that we will take care of him so that he continues to evolve. And we are aware that we won one more excellent option in attack “.
