AC Milan striker Luka Jovic finds himself at a crossroads as the transfer window nears its end. Despite initially being part of manager Paulo Fonseca’s plans, recent developments have pushed the Serbian international to the fringes of the squad.
The potential arrival of Tammy Abraham has significantly impacted Jovic’s standing within the team. Unlike other players such as Divock Origi and Fodé Ballo-Touré, who were excluded from the first-team setup at the start of pre-season, Jovic’s situation has deteriorated over time.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) report how in a surprising turn of events, Jovic was absent from Milan’s training center, Milanello, on the final day of the transfer window, reportedly due to an injury. This development has fueled speculation about his immediate future with the Rossoneri.
According to the report, Jovic now faces two potential scenarios. The first option is a move to a league where the transfer window remains open, allowing him to secure regular playing time elsewhere. However, a new and unexpected possibility has emerged – Jovic could stay at Milan, but with a significant caveat.
In a move that would underscore his fall from grace, there are suggestions that even if Jovic remains with the club, Fonseca might opt to exclude him from the Serie A squad list. This drastic measure would effectively sideline the former Real Madrid striker for the foreseeable future, regardless of whether a transfer materializes.
