Father: 'Luka Jovic not interested in Chelsea, Barcelona move'

Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic has not considered leaving the Bundesliga side to join Barcelona, according to the player's father.

Luka Jovic's father has claimed that the Eintracht Frankfurt striker will reject interest from the likes of Barcelona and Chelsea to stay in the Bundesliga.

The 21-year-old is one of the hottest young talents on the continent after scoring 25 times in all competitions for the German side this season.

Jovic struck five goals in one game against Fortuna Dusseldorf earlier this campaign and bagged the winner away to Inter Milan in the last 16 of the Europa League, while also chipping in with half a dozen assists along the way.

Barcelona are rumoured to have targeted the Serbia international as a long-term replacement for Luis Suarez, and the player's father Milan Jovic has confirmed that contact has already been made by the Spanish champions.

"Luka has had many offers - one of them was Barcelona, but he's not interested now," he told Bild. "He isn't sure he would get any minutes at Barcelona. The truth is that Luka wants to stay in the Bundesliga and qualify with Eintracht for the Champions League."

Jovic has also been touted as a target for Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
