Eintracht bade farewell to the forward who drew attention from all the European football greats with his performance this season. “In sporting terms, Luka will be a real loss for us, but we obviously knew in this case that every player has their price,” said Eintracht board member Fredi Bobic.

“It’s an important piece of transfer business for Eintracht Frankfurt, and a good one as well. We wish Luka all the very best for the future,” he said.
