I’m In Real Madrid To Win Trophies, Says Jovic
Luka Jovic has signed his Real Madrid contract and posed with the club’s iconic white shirt for the first time as he was formally unveiled at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
The Serbian striker completed his £62million move from Frankfurt earlier this month and has now been officially confirmed as a Real player.
Jovic penned a six-year contract with the Spanish giants as he became their fourth most-expensive signing ever, behind Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and fellow new boy Eden Hazard.
Jovic was presented in the presidential box at the Bernabeu as the footage was broadcast on Real Madrid TV.
He held up the club’s shirt, which still did not have his squad number, alongside president Florentino Perez before the pair sat down together and signed his contract.
Jovic then sat down for his presentation as a Real player and watched a montage that the club had pieced together of his career so far.
Jovic said: ‘I’m the happiest guy in the world, I’m going to give everything.
‘I’m excited and I’m sure I’ve made the best decision, I’ll work hard to win titles with Real Madrid.’
Perez added: ‘He was wanted by several big clubs in Europe but Jovic belongs to Real Madrid. It was his dream and today he is here.
‘You come from a club we consider a friend and a very demanding league. You have scored 27 goals but our fans are going to ask you for much more. You have before you the greatest challenge of your career.
‘We are very proud of you because as they told us, this is the shirt you used to sleep with when you were little.’
After the formalities had been completed, Jovic made his way down to the pitch to pose in the club’s kit. Hundreds of supporters had turned out to greet him and the striker performed some keepy-uppies on the famed playing surface.
Former Al-Ittihad star Mohammed Noor has slammed Karim Benzema over his move to Al-Hilal.
The Ballon d’Or winner quit Al-Ittihad after being left unhappy with their new contract offer.
An unimpressed Noor snapped: “Karim Benzema’s contract was set to expire on June 30, 2026, and he received two offers from Al-Ittihad to renew it, but he stalled.
“Benzema had already reached an agreement with Al-Hilal without the knowledge of the Al-Ittihad board. Then he came to pressure the club’s management, who had made him offers, but he didn’t respond because he had already agreed everything with the Al-Hilal board.
“He reached an agreement with Al-Hilal and had a bad exit from Al-Ittihad. Didn’t the fans who supported him and chanted his name for so long deserve a thank you before he left?
“He’s the loser, not Al-Ittihad.”
Manchester United Champions League winner Owen Hargreaves has praised manager Michael Carrick for fixing the balance of their midfield.
Hargreaves believes the rejigging from Carrick has brought out the best in Bruno Fernandes, who struck in Saturday’s 2-0 win against Tottenham.
Speaking on TNT Sports, he said: “Let’s be honest, 200 goal involvements is ridiculous. They’re Playstation numbers. He plays with risk but it’s risk that the team benefits from.
“Kobbie (Mainoo) in behind was fantastic again and Casemiro… those three were probably the three best players in the game, in my opinion.
“We said beforehand, under Ruben Amorim, that midfield was a weakness but that midfield three is really good.
“Obviously Bruno is the best player by a country mile and I just think they look so much stronger now as a midfield three.”
Man United are reportedly looking to sign AC Milan and USMNT star Christian Pulisic in the summer.
The 27-year-old has been a key player for AC Milan since joining from Chelsea back in 2023, scoring 43 goals and providing 22 assists in his 121 games.
According to Calcio Mercato via GiveMeSport, Pulisic’s fine form in Italy has caught the attention of Man United, who are keen on bringing him back to the Premier League.
It’s understood that AC Milan are reluctant to sell Pulisic, but a deal could be sanction for a fee of around £48 million.
Pulisic’s contract with the Serie A giants is set to expire in the summer of 2027 with talks over a new deal yet to progress.
