Newcastle United is interested in Niko Iličević, a 15-year-old German and Croatian attacking midfielder from Eintracht Frankfurt. In addition to Newcastle United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Milan, and Tottenham have also shown interest in the player. Borussia Dortmund is now also monitoring him. Eintracht Frankfurt is open to negotiations for the player. Iličević is not yet able to sign a professional contract, and his current agreement with Eintracht expires at the end of the next season. If he does not indicate an intention to renew, this summer could be the German club's only opportunity to receive a fee for his transfer. The youth international has 7 caps and 2 goals for Germany U16. During the 2025/2026 season, he has made a combined 14 appearances in youth league competitions, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist.
