No offers yet for Jovic, insist Frankfurt
Barcelona are said to have readied a €50million offer for Luka Jovic, but Eintracht Frankfurt are apparently yet to receive a bid.
Eintracht Frankfurt are yet to receive an offer for striker Luka Jovic, according to a senior club official.
Barcelona are reportedly readying a €50 million bid for the Serbia international, who scored his side's goal in the 1-1 friendly draw with Germany this week.
Manchester City have also been linked with Jovic, who has scored 15 goals in only 18 Bundesliga starts in 2018-19.
However, Frankfurt's supervisory board chairman Wolfgang Steubing says they have not yet received any offer for the prized 21-year-old.
