Barcelona Front-runners For 19-Goal Liverpool Target

Five-time European champions Barcelona are reportedly at the front of the queue for Benfica loanee Luka Jovic just a few months before the transfer window resumes.

This is according to the report from popular media outlet Goal.

It was revealed that the Catalan giants are the favourites to sign Luka Jovic who has been in devastating form this term.

Three-cap Serbian international Jovic plays his club football for German Bundesliga outfit Eintracht Frankfurt having joined the Europa League campaigners on loan from Portuguese giants Benfica.

The 21-year-old has scored 19 goals in 29 appearances for Eintracht Frankfurt in all competitions.

The Bosnian-born player is one of the leading marksmen in the German Bundesliga this season with 14 league goals.

Premier League giants Liverpool were initially at the front of the queue but it seems like they have been usurped by Catalan giants Barcelona.

The Reds wanted to add a new dimension to their attack famed for the trio of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane.

Another Bundesliga-based player Timo Werner has been linked with the Reds as a potential striker addition just like Luka Jovic.

Other major European clubs like Real Madrid and Chelsea have also registered their interest in the player with reports claiming that both clubs have made separate bids for Luka Jovic.
