Real Madrid have completed the signing of highly-rated striker
Luka Jovic from Eintracht Frankfurt for a fee worth €60m (£52.4m), according to
News.
The 21-year-old
has agreed a five-year contract worth approximately £165,000 per week to move
to the Bernabeu and will provide competition to Karim Benzema in Real’s attack.
He becomes
Real’s second major signing of the summer already after they completed a deal
for Porto and Brazil centre back Eder Militao in March for a reported fee of
€50m (£42.7m).
Frankfurt only signed Jovic on a permanent basis last month when
they activated a purchase option in his two-year loan agreement, buying him
from Benfica for just €12m.
The Bundesliga
side have therefore made a mammoth profit on the Serbia international, although
Sky reports that Benfica will be due a cut of the fee worth around £10.5m due
to a sell-on clause.
Jovic has been
in sensational form this season for Frankfurt, scoring 27 goals in 47 games in
all competitions, including ten in the Europa League with The Eagles defying
expectations to reach the semi-final stage.
Zinedine
Zidane’s revamp of the squad is unlikely to stop there either with Chelsea’s
Eden Hazard and Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen both rumoured to be top targets.
