Real Madrid is interested in Niko Iličević, according to Bild. Iličević is a 15-year-old talent from Eintracht Frankfurt. The German publication also reports that Eintracht Frankfurt is open to negotiations. Iličević is not yet able to sign a professional contract and his current deal with Eintracht is valid until the end of next season. If the player does not show an intention to renew, this summer might be the only chance for Eintracht Frankfurt to receive money for his transfer.

Real Madrid is reportedly monitoring Niko Ilicevic, a 15-year-old German-Croatian attacking midfielder who plays for Eintracht Frankfurt. To keep the player, Frankfurt's sporting director Markus Krösche is said to be in regular contact with Ilicevic's family to outline a clear plan for his future with the club. The club intends for Ilicevic to sign a development contract on his 16th birthday on October 30th. Ilicevic has been capped five times for Germany's U16 team, scoring two goals. In the 2025/2026 season, he has made 14 appearances for Eintracht's U19 side, scoring three goals and providing one assist.
