Real Madrid finalizes transfer of Luka Jovic for 60 million euros – Report

Real Madrid has signed the signature of 21-year-old Luka Jovic for 60 million euros, according to a report from a Spanish publication. AS. Of this total, 48 million euros will go to Eintracht Frankfurt, the remaining 12 million will be paid to Benfica in accordance with a clause in Jovic's contract granting the Portuguese club 20% of any future sale. The Serb, who exploded this year with 26 goals and 5 badists, will sign a six-year contract.

Madrid have tried to accelerate the signing of Jovic because of the interest of many clubs: Bayern Munich, Barcelona and PSG. AS reports that the operation is at an advanced stage for weeks and that an agreement has been reached in recent days. Real Madrid and Eintracht have good relations in recent years after successful transactions between Jesus Vallejo and Omar Mascarell. The German club is already looking for a successor to the Serbian sensation. Some links unite them to Pedro Ruiz (19 years old), a young Canterano who plays in Juvenil A. He was nicknamed the Spanish Ibrahimović for his big size (1.96 m). , 4 inches) and technique. If Pedro Ruiz had to leave the club, Madrid would probably insert a buy-back clause.

Onda Cero and Marca, have each published following the report of the AS indicating that an agreement is near, but not yet finalized. Eintracht Frankfurt will play its biggest game of the season Thursday in Chelsea and probably will not want the news upset his team. Marca declares that Frankfurt has interests in Mariano, but that this deal would be negotiated in a manner totally separate from Jovic's agreement.

At Luka Jovic, Madrid responds to a pressing need: a young, hungry striker who scores. Jovic's role in the new look of Zidane in Madrid is not clear? Will he be a Benzema partner or a replacement who guarantees goals? If the agreement is actually concluded, 60 million euros would constitute a sensible deal for Madrid in the current market of post-Neymar transfers.
