The report claims that Real Madrid, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Bayern Munich all are also interested in the youngster who is a part of the youth-level German teams. Meanwhile, Frankfurt, who have the young attacking midfielder tied till 2029, are also trying to keep him, and have offered him an early promotion to the first team to convince him.
