Franjo Ivanovic to Real Madrid? Benfica striker hints at possible move | OneFootball

Franjo Ivanovic revealed that it would be a dream to play for Real Madrid or Milan. Away from Benfica, as he is currently representing the Croatian national team, the striker for the Eagles also said that Guardiola is the best coach in the world and mentioned that Ronaldo Fenómeno is his biggest inspiration.

Among other questions in a TikTok questionnaire, Franjo Ivanovic, Benfica’s striker, stated that Luka Modric was the best player he has ever played with in the Croatian national team and revealed that, if he weren’t a football player, he would be a mechanic—a response that has been generating a lot of reactions on social media.

Apparently, and since he will be one of the internationals to return to Benfica earlier, Franjo Ivanovic could be José Mourinho’s first choice for the away match against Chaves. In the third qualifying round of the Portuguese Cup, scheduled for October 18 at 7:30 pm, the coach is preparing several changes.

This season, wearing Benfica’s shirt, Franjo Ivanović – valued at 13 million euros – has played 13 matches: seven in Liga Portugal Betclic and six in the Champions League. In the 673 minutes he has been on the pitch, the striker has scored three goals (against Nice, Tondela, and AFS).

Franjo Ivanović joined Benfica in the summer transfer window, coming from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. The Croatian international cost the Eagles 22.8 million euros, with an additional 5 million depending on the achievement of certain individual and collective goals. The striker has a contract with the club until 2030 and a release clause of 100 million euros.
