The forward said his goodbyes to the German side in an Instagram post on Wednesday after joining 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 around €70 million €70 million (£62m/$79m).
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.
In an Instagram post, Jovic wrote: "Dear Eintracht fans, as you have already read, I will move to Real Madrid. Of course, I would like to take this opportunity to contact you here again with a few words.
"I really enjoyed the last two years at Eintracht Frankfurt. I met a lot of great people and played in a fantastic club, which was also made by the fans to something very special.
"We can be proud of our achievements. I will never forget this Europa League season with you! The highlight was of course the DFB Cup win 2017-2018 in Berlin! That's why it's not easy for me to leave Frankfurt.
"However, Real Madrid opens a huge door for me to become an even bigger footballer. Every child has this dream of playing at such a club. My dream comes true now.
"I would like to thank the whole club and the great fans. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to develop my personality! Thank you for your support! You will always have a place in my heart! Your Luka."
Jovic is not expected to be the final signing of the summer for Madrid, who are also being heavily linked with a move for Chelsea star Eden Hazard.
The Belgian has made it clear that he is not returning to the London outfit.
And Goal understands that the Spanish side have made a final push to land him this summer, having sent representatives to London earlier in the week to strike a deal with the Premier League club.

He is 21. Could be a massive player for Real next 10 years or so yo what?! 21!! fuckk I thought he was around 25 doubt it. most players seem to want a change of scenery after 3-4 years, and thats if things are going well Things not always going well with Benzema with constant booing and fans wanted him to be sold, but he has staying with us for 10 years already now.

Was watching youtube of Jovic yesterday. Impressed by his ambidextrous in shooting and attack positioning is good for his age. Scored a variety of goals (unlike gabriel jesus) and has good reactions. Real Madrid and Frankfurt are 2 different beasts we'll see if he can succeed in Spain only time will tell That means big benz looking for a new team. Chelsea, man u, juventus I'm sure are waiting....
