Chelsea have been alerted after Real Madrid cleared striker Luka Jovic to go on a loan move to regain confidence, according to reports.
Jovic earned a big-money move to Madrid from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer after scoring 27 goals in 48 appearances for the Bundesliga side.
The move was billed as a crucial part of Zinedine Zidane’s rebuild up top following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus, but the Serbia international has only netted twice and assisted two other goals in 24 outings.
According to Marca (via The Sun), Madrid have allowed Jovic to find a move away in order to regain his confidence and following his departure, the Spanish giants will look to sign a prolific striker, with Erling Braut Haaland believed to be a target.
As such, it is said that Chelsea could look to cash in on Jovic’s situation by offering him a year’s stay at Stamford Bridge.
Frank Lampard was visibly frustrated at the end of the January transfer window after failing to bring in support for Tammy Abraham, who has struggled with niggling ankle issues in 2020.
Aside from England international Abraham, Olivier Giroud‘s future in West London is unclear with his contract set to expire this summer, while Michy Batshuayi’s role under Lampard is also under threat.
Having entered his role unable to sign any new players due to Chelsea’s transfer ban, however, Lampard has begun to stamp his mark on the team with the acquisition of Hakim Ziyech, who will move from Ajax in the summer.
As for who could leave Chelsea this summer, full-back Emerson Palmieri has been linked with a move away.
According to reports, the 25-year-old is unhappy with Lampard’s management style and feels as if he is being forced out of the club by his coach.
