FC Barcelona tried to get Luka Joviu0107 on loan from Eintracht Frankfurt over the winter transfer window, according to Mundo Deportivo. The paper says that sources from both Barça and from Joviu0107’s entourage confirm there were talks of a loan, but the details do not fully match up.

Namely, Joviu0107’s entourage says that Barcelona made an offer of a loan with a mandatory purchase option, but that Eintracht Frankfurt denied it because he was considered an indispensable piece for their Europa League campaign.
