RMC report that European giants Barcelona and Juventus have both submitted professional contract proposals to France U17 international and Metz central defender Lenny Lacroix.
The exciting young prospect is so highly regarded by Les Grenats that he has begun training with the first team.
No further details have yet emerged regarding the player's personal ambitions: will he be tempted by some of Europe's finest or will he give himself the possibility of playing 1st team football more quickly and stay with Metz?
The possible exit of Lacroix would be another bad news for Metz, given that in recent weeks they have faced the serious injury of Manuel Cabit in a traffic accident with his teammate, Kevin N'Doram.
