3 possible destinations for Luka Jovic next summer

Luka Jovic has been one of the revelations of the season. The 21-year-old Serbian international has been one of the mainstays of Eintracht Frankfurt’s successful season so far. He was signed on a 2-year loan deal from Benfica in 2017 which was made permanent by Eintracht by activating the buyback clause for €7 million and the Serb penned down a contract till June 2023.

It is under new manager Adi Hutter that the Serbian exploded this season. He has scored 26 goals and has 7 assists in all competitions for The Eagles this season. Despite the signing of a long term contract, Jovic is constantly getting linked to big names across Europe this season. The big, physical striker is a brilliant team player and would be a valuable addition to many clubs in Europe.

Here are 3 clubs where Luka can possibly make a switch this summer :

3. Liverpool :

Liverpool are progressing under Jurgen Klopp and the German coach has put the club back on track for attaining glory after languishing in mid table for a number of years in the recent past. His signature gegenpressing style has suited the players very much and Liverpool have made brilliant moves in the transfer market in the past few windows.

Come this summer, the Reds are looking to add more squad depth. They do not have much depth upfront and Luka Jovic could be a brilliant signing. He can partner upfront in a 2-striker formation which will give Klopp additional flexibility as he can now field an extra goalscoring attacker if required which can only further boost the deadly trio of Firmino, Mane and Salah.

Luka Jovic’s signing would give Liverpool absolutely next level firepower upfront and this can only help them challenge for the titles better next season. Jurgen Klopp will surely try and make a move to sign the striker this summer.

2. Bayern Munich :

Bayern Munich are known for keeping eyes open for players performing well in the Bundesliga. The Serbian is no exception. However the club have already signed Jann-Fiete Arp from Hamburg and the German starlet is all set to join the club this summer.

He has had a torrid season in the second division and Bayern will give him a chance to prove himself in the preseason. Academy player Joshua Zirkzee is in fine form having scored 22 goals and assisted 9 more for the youth and the reserve team this season. His performances have made the board give an internal push to promote him to the first team next season.

Jovic is a favourite of Niko Kovac

Niko Kovac, on the other hand, has worked with the Serbian at Frankfurt and is pushing the board to make a move for him and rightfully so, as Jovic is consistently maintaining his scoring game. The Serb, apparently is also open for a move to Bayern, though negotations with Fredi Bobic will be difficult as the Frankfurt Sporting Director is an open critic of the Bavarian giants.

1. Real Madrid :

The Spanish giants are having an upheaval this summer and Luka Jovic is one of the biggest targets for Zinedine Zidane as they require a reliable goalscorer who can partner Karim Benzema. Jovic flourishes in a multi-striker system and can partner the Frenchman well in the frontline.

He drops deep to pick up balls and is very good at forward passes which can make him an asset for the club. He’ll also be getting better quality service in Madrid that can only be taking his goalscoring abilities and tally to the next level. He’s at a very young and can turn into a lethal poacher in the years to come.

Fali Ramadani visited Real Madrid headquarters in Madrid a few weeks ago.

Spanish media is very positive that the Serbian hitman will be a Real Madrid player next season. Things are tilting in their favour as his agent, Fali Ramadani met Real Madrid director Jose Angel Sanchez in Madrid a few weeks back.
