Niko Iličević has received highly lucrative offers from major European clubs. According to Sky's information, Iličević plans to stay in Frankfurt. The family of Iličević also considers that continuing his development at Eintracht is currently the best option. There is no release clause in his contract, although Iličević's family wanted to include one. Former Eintracht sporting director Markus Krösche rejected the possibility of negotiating a release clause during contract extension talks. Interested clubs will have to negotiate directly with Eintracht for any potential transfer of Iličević.

According to Bild, Niko Iličević attracted interest from many major European clubs, including Bayern, Barcelona, and Chelsea. The report also states that Bayern was particularly persistent, but the young footballer and his family decided that it was best for his development to remain in Frankfurt.

Barcelona have scouted Niko Ilicevic. There is no formal negotiation, but sources have stated they expect him to be invited to speak to the biggest clubs in the future. Those same sources are not discounting a move in 2027 if an offer is made that Frankfurt would be unable to reject.
