Barcelona scout Eintracht Frankfurt forward Luka Jovic?

Barcelona have reportedly decided to up their interest in Eintracht Frankfurt forward Luka Jovic.

The 21-year-old is currently on loan from Benfica, but Frankfurt will push through a permanent deal for the Serbian during the summer with 22 goals having been scored this season.

Barcelona are one of a number of teams said to be interested in the player, and according to Marca, the Catalan giants may have opted to take a closer look at the youngster.

The report claims that club officials Eric Abidal, Ramon Planes and Pep Segura were all present as Frankfurt faced Inter Milan in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Jovic scored after just five minutes at San Siro, which helped the Bundesliga outfit reach the quarter-finals of the competition with a 1-0 win.
