In-demand\u00a0Eintracht Frankfurt forward Luka Jovic has generated uncertainty on a move to Real Madrid after\u00a0admitting his style of play is more suited to the Premier League or Serie A.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has attracted plenty of interest after an exceptional campaign at the\u00a0Commerzbank-Arena, with Los Blancos tipped to acquire his services.<\/p>\n

Where next for Jovic? Five key things to know…\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Having made his loan move from Benfica permanent last month, Frankfurt now look set to sell Jovic.<\/li>\n
  2. Earlier this month, it was reported<\/a> Jovic had put pen-to-paper with Real Madrid for \u00a352.4m.<\/li>\n
  3. But Marca<\/a> have since suggested a fee is yet to be reached, with\u00a0Frankfurt valuing the player at around \u00a3100m.<\/li>\n
  4. Interest from PSG has upped the ante but Real are refusing to lock horns in a bidding war.<\/li>\n
  5. Jovic has now cast further doubt on a move to Real after opening the door on a move to England or Italy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With 27 goals and six assists across all competitions, Jovic is hot property right now, sparking\u00a0curiosity from\u00a0Paris Saint-Germain and a number of Premier League clubs, including Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    As such, Frankfurt believe they could now receive a higher transfer fee for their prized assist and have reportedly put him on the market for around \u00a3100m.<\/p>\n

    Zinedine Zidane’s side were hopeful of securing his signature for around \u00a350m-\u00a360m, but they are no longer the only powerhouse with a\u00a0paddle at the auction, though the club are refusing to engage in a bidding war.<\/p>\n

    These new revelations have cast doubt on his potential move to the Bernabeu, and Jovic himself is doing nothing to ease uncertainties after revealing his game is more suited to English or Italian football.<\/p>\n

    “From my experience in the Europa League, I would say that some other leagues in Europe are more suited to me and my way of playing football,” he told German newspaper Welt am Sonntag<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “In terms of the physique, the Bundesliga is very demanding, but after the games against Chelsea or Inter Milan, I personally had the feeling that I could feel even better [playing] in the Premier League or Serie A.<\/p>\n

    “The way the teams play there suits me better.<\/p>\n

    “I’m looking forward to seeing my level compared to the best players in the world. One thing is clear: I want to succeed in my career.”<\/p>\n
