Yusuf Demir is attracting interest from a number of heavyweight clubs as he prepares to enter the final year of his Rapid Vienna contract, according to a report.

Rapid Vienna forward Yusuf Demir, who has been dubbed 'the next Lionel Messi', is reportedly a target for Manchester United, Manchester City and Barcelona.

The 17-year-old has already made 30 first-team appearances for Rapid over the past two seasons, including a handful of European outings.

Demir is due to be out of contract at the end of next season, however, and Marca reports that a renewal is unlikely at this point.

Barcelona are said to be monitoring the youngster's situation ahead of potentially making a move in the summer, while Manchester pair United and City are in a similar position.

The report indicates that Barca are willing to part with up to €8m (£6.85m) for left-footed Demir, who can play anywhere across the attack.
