Germany both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig are monitoring Bulatovic closely. In addition, late interest has emerged from Saudi Arabian clubs eager to secure his services. The club have placed a €25 million valuation on the midfielder, a figure that reflects his breakthrough into the first team last season.

Since his debut, Bulatovic has featured in seven matches across all competitions this season. Despite his youth, he already boasts twelve caps for the Montenegro national team.

He recently signed a new deal that binds him to Lens until the summer of 2030, yet the club admit his future remains uncertain. The €25 million tag suggests they are prepared to negotiate a transfer if the right offer arrives.
