Serbia manager Mladen Krstajic says striker Luka Jovic has what it takes to play for Barcelona.
Barca want to sign the Eintracht Frankfurt star for around £50m.
Jovic scored against Germany last night.
And Krstajic said: “I’m not his agent so I don’t know about any interest from Barcelona, but he definitely has the potential to play for a club of that stature.”

Real Madrid eye West Ham star
Real Madrid are considering a swoop for West Ham star Felipe Anderson.
Sky Sports claim the Bernabeu club could make a move for Anderson in the summer if Eden Hazard’s move to Madrid falls through.
Chelsea are desperate to keep Hazard and may decide not to sell in the summer despite the fact he could then leave for nothing 12 months later.
It is claimed a bid of around £60m would be needed for West Ham to come to the table over Anderson.

Lucas Torreira to Napoli
Lucas Torreira almost joined Napoli when he was impressing at Sampdoria before Arsenal swooped in.
"It’s true, Lucas was very close to Napoli. There were negotiations with Napoli, but something strange happened, and you know in the transfer market things can change from one moment to the next,” Ricardo Torreira told Radio Marte.
"Negotiations are long and complicated processes, so it can happen than they don’t go the way we expected.
"There was this opportunity to go to England and Lucas took it, so I have to say he is happy at Arsenal.”

Paul Pogba has admitted "Real Madrid is a dream for anyone" with Zinedine Zidane in charge.
"Like I've always said, Real Madrid is a dream for anyone," he told reporters.
"It's one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Chelsea not interested in keeping Higuain
Chelsea are set to give up on Gonzalo Higuain at the end of the season and will not take up an option to loan him for a further 12 months.
Higuain has netted just three times in 10 appearances for Chelsea.
Sarri’s side have the option to extend Higuain’s deal by 12 months by paying £15.5million (€18m).
But after poor displays since making the switch, Chelsea have no interest in securing his services, according to Marca.
The 31-year-old previously enjoyed his time under Sarri at Italian outfit Napoli.
But he has been unable to replicate that form since making the move to London.

Should Dortmund lose Sancho, the German giants will move for Callum Hudson-Odoi.
