Luka Jovic has endured a disappointing time in Madrid since moving to the La Liga champions from Frankfurt for a reported €60m in June 2019. He has scored just twice in 31 appearances and now potentially faces jail time.

Luka Jovic faces six months in prison in Serbia for breaching quarantine rules earlier this year, according to El Partizado de Cope citing Serbian agency Tanjug.
Marca reported in April the footballer faced the possibility of a €1,275 fine with prosecutors looking to give the 22-year-old a three-year prison sentence, but this has been revised.
El Mundo report he was one of the few players allowed to return home during lockdown, but was allegedly seen partying in Belgrade and was criticised, as well as other Serbian players, by Prime Minister Ana Brnabic.
She said: "We have negative examples of our footballers, who are paid very well, ignoring mandatory self-isolation upon returning home.”
