?Real Madrid scouts were in attendance at the Estadio Da Luz on Thursday night to watch Luka Jovic in action as Eintracht Frankfurt took on Benfica in the Europa League.

However, with scouts from ?Manchester City, ?Manchester United and ?Bayern Munich also said to have been watching with interest on Thursday night, Jovic is likely to complete a swift move away from Frankfurt in the summer.
