Real Madrid have completed the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic on a six-year contract until 2025, subject to passing a medical.
Sources had previously told ESPN FC how Jovic was coveted by teams across Europe but Madrid have won the race and will pay around €60 million.
“Luka is a big loss for us. The word has spread in Europe about his explosiveness and his goal-scoring instinct. We’ve benefited not only from his goals over the past two years,” Frankfurt…
It’s 2019. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the dominant forces in soccer, winning nearly every individual award and leading their clubs to title after title. Yet both are in the twilights of their careers, at 31 and 34 years old respectively, and previous heirs to the throne such as Neymar and Gareth Bale haven’t come close to filling their boots.
It’s the same story for a slew of defensive talent, as Vincent Kompany, Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Buffon and Giorgio Chiellini are approaching…
Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp joked about a restaurant giving him a table on holiday in Ibiza for beating Real Madrid when he was Borussia Dortmund manager.
Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Fredi Bobic has told ESPN FC there has been “no contact” with Real Madrid over the transfer of Luka Jovic.
Reports in Spain from AS had claimed that the two clubs had agreed a €60 million fee to take the Serbia international to the Bernabeu when the transfer window opens in the summer.
It would mark a huge profit for the Bundesliga side, who only last month exercised their option to sign the player permanently from Benfica for around €7m following…

Eintracht Frankfurt hung on in the Bundesliga but have established themselves as consistent developers of young talent and a team to be reckoned with.
“Best football team in Germany,” read the Eintracht Frankfurt supporters’ banner, and over the course of the game, it went from being vaguely funny to painfully ridiculous. Their side were destroyed 5-0 by champions Bayern Munich on their own pitch in the season’s traditional Supercup curtain-raiser back in August.
From there, it got worse. Last season’s DFB Cup winners were eliminated by third-division Ulm in the cup and proceeded to lose two of their first three games in the league. “Code red!”…

With rumours swirling Barcelona are prepared to sell Coutinho, Paul Mariner hopes the Brazilian remains at the Nou Camp
Barcelona have watched Luka Jovic over 20 times but will face stern competition from Bayern Munich if they decide to make a move for the Eintracht Frankfurt forward, sources have told ESPN FC.
Jovic, 21, is one of the attackers Barca are following as they eye a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez, who is 32. Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford, who is out of contract in 2020, is another option but the Catalans liken their chances of landing the England international to dating Cindy Crawford.
