Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to battle Barcelona for the signature of forward Luka Jovic.

Real Madrid are reportedly preparing to battle Barcelona for the signature of forward Luka Jovic.

Jovic joined Benfica from Red Star Belgrade in 2016 but has spent the last two seasons on loan with Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, scoring 28 times in 54 appearances for the Bundesliga outfit.

Earlier this week, it was reported that Barcelona had already agreed a contract with the 21-year-old and would now look to strike a deal with his parent club.

However, according to Bild, Los Blancos are preparing to 'go to war' with their bitter rivals for the attacker, who has scored 19 times in 27 appearances for Frankfurt in all competitions during the 2018-19 campaign.

Jovic, who has only made four first-team appearances for Benfica, was a part of the Serbia squad that took part at the 2018 World Cup.
