Real Madrid snap up Serb starlet Jovic in transfer coup

Real Madrid said on Tuesday they have signed 21-year-old Serbia striker Luka Jovic from German side Eintracht Frankfurt on a six-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

“Real Madrid and Eintracht Frankfurt have agreed the transfer of Luka Jovic, subject to a medical,” Real said in a statement.

Jovic scored 27 goals in all competitions this season, helping Frankfurt to the Europa League semi-finals and seventh place in the Bundesliga. He also made four appearances for Serbia, scoring one goal.

His dazzling form put him on the radar of Europe’s top clubs, with Spanish media quoting a price tag of 60 million euros while German media said Real will have paid out 70 million euros.

Frankfurt’s sporting director Fredi Bobic disclosed no financial details but suggested the size of the Madrid offer was just too big to resist.

He said the deal was good for the German club who originally signed Jovic on a two-year loan from Portuguese club Benfica and took up an option for a permanent move in April after Barcelona showed interest in the young star.
