Milan and Fiorentina are back in the running for Real Madrid benchwarmer Luka Jovic, according to Spanish reports, while Eintracht Frankfurt are another possibility.
The striker turns 24 next month and had been a major target over the summer, with Inter also interested, but he decided to remain with the Merengues.
That proved unwise, with only seven appearances between La Liga and Champions League this season, for a grand total of just 95 minutes of football.
Now Mundo Deportivo reports a loan switch in January is very likely, with Serie A again a potential destination.
Milan and Fiorentina are seeking reinforcements in attack, especially if the Viola lose Dusan Vlahovic.
Jovic spent last season on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from January to June and could attempt to replicate the experience, where he scored four goals and provided one assist in 18 Bundesliga appearances.
There is a contract with Real Madrid until June 2025, so a loan would not be an issue.
