What's the news?

According to reports from the Goal, European giants FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea are all set to empty their pockets for £52 million-rated striker Luka Jovic, who is currently on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from Benfica.

Eintracht Frankfurt Sporting Director Fredi Bobic has openly told all the European powerhouses that the decision to release Jovic will be taken only after the season ends, as Frankfurt have a buyout clause of £7 million in the loan offer with Benfica for the striker.

According to Bobic, nothing is confirmed despite all the interests from big clubs and he is not worried about the future of Jovic. The club is more concerned about how well the season would go.

In case you didn't know..

Frankfurt are supposedly all set to cash in on the £7 million buyout clause in Jovic's loan deal, which would reportedly enable them to sell the striker for a £50 million plus value when the transfer window opens again in July.

The German club are currently placed fifth in the Bundesliga and are fighting to earn a spot in the Champions League for next season.

Their recent exploit is beating Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League Round of 32, to set up a fixture with Inter Milan in the Round of 16.

The Heart of the Matter

Jovic is one of the most deadly strikers who have come out this season. According to statistics from WhoScored.com, He has netted a total 21 times for his loan club Eintracht Frankfurt, with 15 of them coming in the Bundesliga, and 6 of them coming in the Europa League.

His explosive attacking display has caught the attention of big European clubs like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea, all of whom are trying to land an explosive striker like Jovic, so that they can finish their jigsaw puzzle of creating the perfect team to conquer their domestic league as well as Champions League.

What's ahead?

In the next transfer window or probably the next season, Luka Jovic is definitely going to break through to one of the top European clubs, but the fact which lies cemented is that Eintracht Frankfurt are going to profit big time from the Jovic deal.

As they can buy Jovic for just £7 million from Benfica, they can sell the player for almost 7 times their cost to any club in the near future.

It will be interesting to see how Jovic's future pans out in the next 6 to 8 months.
