Real Madrid sent scouts to watch Jovic in Europa League against Benfica Transfer Market Other big clubs were also present

Real Madrid sent scouts to watch Eintracht Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic against Benfica at the Estadio Da Luz on Thursday night.

The Serbian striker is one of the most wanted strikers in European football at the moment, and his progress is being closely monitored by Los Blancos.

However, Real Madrid are not the only side tracking the forward's progress with scouts of Barcelona and Atletico Madrid also in attendance at the Europa League tie, though the latter were said to be watching Ruben Dias.

MARCA also found out that scouts of Manchester City, Manchester United and Bayern Munich were present at the Da Luz.

Those in attendance will have been impressed by Jovic, who scored a goal against the club which he is on loan from.

Benfica are owed 20 per cent of any future sale of Jovic once Frankfurt inevitably sign him on a permanent basis, which is why the Germans will be looking to extract maximum value from the player who has scored 25 goals so far this season.
