Liverpool are reportedly eyeing up a swoop for Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic who has struggled for form in the Spanish capital following his big-money move from Frankfurt two summers ago.
The Serbian international is understood to be a name that has been targeted by North London bigwigs Arsenal in the past and Liverpool are in line to rival the former’s interest in signing Jovic.
Jurgen Klopp’s hunt for attacking reinforcements to add to his options at Anfield could take the Liverpool boss to the Santiago Bernabeu for Real Madrid outcast Jovic, claim reports from Spanish news outlet Fichajes.
With star duo Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane set to take part in the AFCON at the turn of the year, Liverpool will be in line for a crucial fixture list without their star forward players meaning Klopp will be looking at the transfer market for fresh blood.
Jovic has been frozen out of Carlo Ancelotti’s side and Liverpool could be hoping to snap up the forward in a cut-price deal to add some much-needed firepower up top on the pitch.
