No contact with Real Madrid over Jovic, insists Bobic

Luka Jovic in action for Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Fredi Bobic is adamant that the club have had no contact with Real Madrid over a potential transfer for Luka Jovic.

Reports in Spain had claimed that the two clubs had agreed a €60million deal for the 21-year-old, who has scored 26 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions this season.

Bobic, who said last month that a deal with Madrid is a "real possibility", has denied the claims, though, insisting there have been no discussions.

"There has been no contact with Real Madrid," Bobic told ESPN FC. "For once, I don't have to use a white lie, they really haven't been in touch yet. I know them very well."

The Serbia striker, whose two-year loan from Benfica became permanent in April, has also been linked with a move to Spanish champions Barcelona.

He has become a key player for the Bundesliga side this season and scored in Thursday's 1-1 Europa League semi-final first leg against Chelsea.
