Jovic to Madrid latest
Fredi Bobic, sporting director of Eintracht Frankfurt, admits his side could lose Luka Jovic this summer.
Jovic has been linked with Real Madrid and Liverpool ahead of the summer and Bobic concedes if a move from a European giant comes in he will struggle to keep him.
"My desire is for him to remain at Eintracht but I am realistic, if a club like Madrid comes in for him, we do not have a chance of keeping him," he said.
The 21-year-old has scored 17 Bundesliga goals in 28 games this season.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane on goalkeepers
Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has spoken on the future of his goalkeepers at the Bernabeu.
He said: “The goalkeepers have a contract. Whatever happens beyond that will be decided by myself, it's my responsibility.
“But now it's not the time to talk about that. I already said this: next year things will be very clear for everybody.
“[Decisions on summer transfers] will be made as a whole. If you buy some players, some other have to leave. How many players do we have? 24, 25 players. So?
“If we buy some players, some other have to leave, of course. That's normal in every squad.”

Man Utd told to axe David De Gea and Paul Pogba
Manchester United have been told to axe Paul Pogba and David De Gea by Steve Coppell.
“There’s no real consistency now and rotation is such that it’s hard for any players to really cement their place in the team,” he told talkSPORT.
“You get your four or five stars, and that’s what United are looking for at the moment.
“The Pogbas, the goalkeeper [De Gea] - there seems to be so much indecision with the key players within the team, whether they want to stay, whether they want to go.
“If they want to go, get rid of them!
“Get people who want to play, who have the pride in the shirt, where playing for Manchester United actually means something special for them.
“It is without doubt one of the most special clubs in world football and you need players who are 100 per cent committed rather than looking for a next contract maybe at another club or maybe in another country.
“Manchester United demand what their supporters provide on a weekly basis, which is 100 per cent commitment.”

Paul Pogba tells Man Utd team-mates he is leaving
Manchester United star Paul Pogba has rocked the Red Devils by telling team-mates he wants to leave, according to reports in France.
Pogba has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent times, ever since talking up the La Liga giants last month.
Real would love to make him their marquee midfield signing of the summer amid uncertainty over the future of Toni Kroos.
And French outlet L’Equipe claim Pogba has told certain United team-mates that he is determined to play elsewhere next season.
L’Equipe also say that United have urged Pogba to be loyal given how the club supported him during his rocky relationship with Jose Mourinho.
Eden Hazard to leave Chelsea?
Craig Burley has told Chelsea star Eden Hazard that it is now or never if he wants to move to Real Madrid.
“Time is not on Hazard’s side,” Burley told ESPN FC.
“If he does not make the move to Real Madrid this summer, he is probably never going to make that move.
“Because in just over one year’s time they will have moved onto someone else, be it Neymar or Mbappe, or the new kid on the block.
“He will then be a year older and how do you know he is not going to pick an injury up?
“Hazard has been a good servant to that football club and has played very well for them.
“I think that if he wants to make that move to Real Madrid, and I think that he should, then he has to make it this summer.
“Nobody can give him a guarantee in future so I think that if he doesn’t make it now, he never will.”
