Spanish La Liga champions Barcelona have emerged as overwhelming favourites to secure the transfer of Serbian international striker Luka Jovic according to various media reports.
The latest development is a big blow to Liverpool who are long-term admirers of the attacker.
According to the report from Sportskeeda, the Catalan giants are closing in on a transfer for Luka Jovic who they have identified as a potential replacement for the ageing Luis Suarez.
Barcelona are ahead of both Liverpool and Champions League holders Real Madrid in the race to sign the 21-year-old.
Luka Jovic is on a season-long loan at German Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt from Portuguese giants Benfica having joined the German top flight club at the start of the season.
He could be the long-term replacement for Luis Suarez at Barcelona with the Uruguayan international star already entering the twilight of his football career.
The ex-Liverpool player has been a wonderful servant for Barcelona since he joined the Catalan giants from the Reds in the summer of 2014 in a deal worth at least £75m.
Luka Jovic has scored 19 goals in all competitions for Eintracht Frankfurt including 14 goals in the German Bundesliga.
The three-cap Serbian international is the leading goalscorer in the German top flight at the moment.
