Celtic and Rangers are among the clubs who have "called" to express their interest in Serbia youth midfielder Andrej Bacanin, says Cukaricki sporting director Vladimir Matijasevic.
The Serbian SuperLiga club "expect the transfer to be completed in the next 10 days".
Bacanin, 18, and 19-year-old centre-half Vojin Serafimovic were left out of the squad as Cukaricki started their league season with a 1-0 win over Napredak, with "both close to being transferred".
Matijasevic told his club website: "There is a lot of interest in our young players and the current focus is on the transfer of Andrej Bacanin.
"He attracted the attention of numerous clubs with his performances for our team last season, as well as for the Serbian national team at his age.
"We had calls from Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers, Ajax, Udinese and some other teams are interested. It is possible that other options will emerge and I expect the transfer to be completed in the next 10 days."
Belgrade-based Cukaricki finished ninth of 16 teams in the Serbian top flight last season.
Defensive midfielder Bacanin made 11 starts and eight substitute appearances for his club as well as 10 for his country's under-19 side.
"I expect this to be another big exit transfer for Cukaricki, which would cover our club's budget," Matijasevic added.
