Jovic Thanks Eintracht Frankfurt Fans Ahead Of Real Madrid Move
Luka Jovic shared a farewell message to Eintracht Frankfurt fans ahead of "dream" move to Real Madrid
Luka Jovic said his dream has come true after leaving Eintracht Frankfurt for LaLiga giants Real Madrid.
Jovic swapped Bundesliga side Eintracht for Madrid on a five-year contract, with the transfer fee reportedly worth €60million.
The 21-year-old Serbia striker took Europe by storm in 2018-19, scoring 17 Bundesliga goals and another 10 in Eintracht's memorable run to the Europa League semi-finals.
Jovic, who arrived from Benfica on a two-year loan deal in 2017 before Eintracht triggered the purchase option in April, bid farewell to the German team on Wednesday.
View this post on Instagram Hallo liebe Eintracht Fans, wie ihr bereits erfahren habt, werde ich zu Real Madrid wechseln. Natürlich möchte ich die Chance nutzen und mich hier nochmal mit ein paar Worten an euch zu wenden. Die letzten 2 Jahre bei Eintracht Frankfurt habe ich sehr genossen. Ich habe viele tolle Menschen kennengelernt und in einem fantastischen Verein gespielt, der auch durch die Fans zu etwas ganz besonderem gemacht wurde. Auf unsere sportlichen Leistungen können wir stolz sein. Diese Europa League Saison mit euch werde ich niemals vergessen! Das Highlight war natürlich der DFB-Pokal Gewinn 2017/2018 in Berlin!

Jedes Kind hat diesen Traum, bei solch einem Club zu spielen. Und ich erfülle mir diesen nun. Ich möchte mich bei der gesamten Eintracht und den tollen Fans bedanken.
