Can't say much about him, just saw 3 or 4 of his matches. Would be a player for the academy/ reserve team. The Guardian listed him as one of the top 60 talents of 2006. His style is compared to Bellingham.

Says the original source is Tutto Mercato, and we're just mentioned as an afterthought along with Juve, Atalanta and Dortmund.

Probably not much substance to this yet aside from a player that'll be well known at academy level and likely on the radar of dozens of clubs.

"Lukic has always been taller than his peers – and he now stands at 6ft 1in at 17 years of age, but that has not caused any problems with it comes to his ball control. Technically sublime and very elegant, he stood out at the Austria Wien academy, and Dinamo Zagreb tried to lure him to his parents’ homeland before Red Bull Salzburg appeared, as they often do. It is difficult to resist an offer to join the best club in Austria, especially when it is famous for promoting young talents. Lukic joined them in the summer of 2022 and this May he already made his debut for Liefering, Salzburg’s reserves who play in the second division. He has began this campaign as a regular starter and looks destined to become part of Salzburg’s first-team squad in the near future. Has played for Austria Under-18s and the senior national team coach, Ralf Rangnick, says that he is monitoring his progress closely, especially with the Croatian FA sure to make an attempt to convince him to represent them.
