According to a report from BILD, Liverpool and Barcelona have both expressed an interest in signing Luka Jovic.
The Serb, on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt from Benfica, has been in terrific form this season, scoring 12 goals in 15 games. This included five goals in a single game against Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga.
He is currently the top scorer in the Bundesliga having registered nine goals in as many games.
Liverpool are not alone in their pursuit of the 20-year-old, as Bayern Munich and Barcelona are also interested. It is rumoured that Liverpool would have to pay his €45 million (£40 million) release clause to acquire his services.
Jovic was recently called up to the Serbian national squad and featured as a substitute in his nation’s 2-1 victory over Montenegro.
With Divock Origi looking certain to leave Anfield in January, with Galatasaray swooping for a loan move, it would leave Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge as the only senior strikers at the club.
This could prompt Jurgen Klopp to explore attacking options such as Jovic in January.
