Real Madrid's top 5 transfer targets this summer

#2 Luka Jovic

Eintracht Frankfurt v FC Internazionale - UEFA Europa League Round of 16: First Leg

The story of Luka Jovic's move to Real Madrid first caught fire towards the end of January this year and it seems that Los Blancos have pursued this deal with much determination. Quite recently, the Spanish publication AS reported that the agreement to secure Jovic's services is already in place though the announcement is yet to be made. Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt's director of sport Fredi Bobic has dismissed such claims:

"It's not agreed right now. There are some talks behind the scenes."

Karim Benzema has been leading the line for Real Madrid over the past few years despite some sporadic hiccups. However, he isn't growing any younger with time. Thus, it's natural for the team to scout the transfer market for his long-term replacement. Besides, following Ronaldo's departure, the inability of Madrid's attacking unit to grind out goals means that the offensive plight merits utmost attention.

As such, Luka Jovic has emerged as one of Real Madrid's top targets. The Serbian is only 21 years old and was Bundesliga's third top scorer this season, only lagging behind Paco Alcacer and Robert Lewandowski.
