15-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt prodigy Niko Ilicevic has reportedly attracted interest from a number of European heavyweights.
Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Manchester City, AC Milan and Inter are among the clubs monitoring the youngster’s development, according to Sky Germany.
Eintracht, however, are keen to keep Ilicevic at the club long term and are expected to offer him a professional contract at the end of October.
The Germany U17 international turns 16 on October 31, at which point he will be eligible to make his senior-team debut.
According to Transfermarkt, Ilicevic has scored 15 goals and provided 11 assists in 51 appearances across Eintracht Frankfurt’s youth teams.
