Kaloyan Ivanov, the agent of Nikola Iliev, has revealed that Inter have won the race to sign his highly rated client in an interview with Italian news outlet FCInterNews.it.
Inter, as Ivanov confirmed, faced competition from Paris Saint Germain, Manchester United and Ajax as well as other top clubs, for the 15-year-old sensation who is primarily an attacking midfielder but also capable of playing as a right winger and as a striker too.
Despite only turning 15-years-old in the past few months, Iliev has in fact already played two games at senior level for current employers Botev Plovdic with both of those games coming in the league. He has also been an unused substitute for the first team on two occasions this season.
In just under 80 minutes on the park, he has failed to make any goal contributions but is very highly thought of and expected to get even better.
“Iliev is the purest talent in all of Bulgarian football. We are talking about a fantastic player, tall, strong, powerful and at the same time very skilled. A rare combination nowadays,” Ivanov started.
“We have already agreed on everything with Inter. PSG, Manchester United, Ajax and other top clubs were strongly interested in him but we chose the Nerazzurri because we considered Inter the best project for the player.
“We agreed before the pandemic started and we will formalise everything once you can fly to Italy again.”
