Why Madrid and Barcelona are ‘fighting over’ Frankfurt sensation Jovic

Luka Jovic is set to be one of the main movers of this summer's transfer window, with the striker guaranteed not to be at parent club Benfica next season.

The prolific 21-year-old is currently second in the race for the Bundesliga top scorer trophy behind Robert Lewandowski, having netted 17 times in 26 games for Eintracht Frankfurt.
