Zidane's got quite a lot of problems to address in the summer

Luka Jovic joining Real Madrid a real possibility says Frankfurt Sporting Director

Jovic is easily one of the most promising young strikers in Europe right now

Luka Jovic's rose to prominence happened in the blink of an eye and before you knew it, he was being courted by the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Recent reports had suggested that the Eintracht Frankfurt striker was moving closer to sealing a transfer to Barcelona.

However, Frankfurt's Sporting Director Fredi Bobic has now admitted that Jovic moving to Real Madrid in the summer is a real possibility.

Bobic told Marca,

“There’s a real possibility that Jovic signs for Real Madrid,”.

“I hope and want him to stay here at Eintracht, but I’m also realistic and know that if a big club like Real Madrid want him then we haven’t got a chance of keeping him.”

Real Madrid hadn't entered the fray until a couple of weeks ago and now it looks like they have thrown a real spanner into the works as far as Barcelona are concerned.
