Barcelona are interested in striker Luka Jovic for next season, per Cadena COPE. The 21 year old Serbian forward is a summer target as they look for a permanent back-up for Luis Suarez.

Jovic plays for Eintract Frankfurt, where he has scored 12 goals, and is one of the sensations of the competition. He is on loan from Benfica, where Eintract have the option to buy him for 12 million euros.

The German club could do that then sell him to Barcelona for 35m.

Pep Segura, the general manager at Barca, is keen on the operation and knows it’s something to work on over the coming months.

Barca want a forward in the short term on loan or for cheap, but this is a bet on a player for the future.
