LONDON (AFP) - Britain's Olympic boxing silver medallist Amir Khan will hold talks with promoters over a potential move into the professional ranks.
The 17-year-old's priority is still thought to be the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
But his manager Asif Vali told BBC Radio he would meet promoters including Frank Warren.
"We will talk to them and see what they have to offer us," said Vali.
But the English Amateur Boxing Association (ABA) is hopeful Khan will not turn professional.
Association development officer Paul King said it hopes to offer the 17-year-old a unique 40,000 pound scholarship.
"We understand people will be queuing up to sign Amir Khan, but we would be very, very disappointed if we had to lose him at this stage," King said.
On Saturday, Khan confirmed Beijing was his target despite a series of lucrative professional contract offers in recent weeks.
"The future is definitely Beijing. I want that gold medal and I've definitely got my eye on it. I'm staying amateur and not turning pro," he said.
But Vali said he has yet to hear details of what support the ABA could provide.
"We've been waiting for the ABA to come back with offers for Amir Khan and it's taking such a long time we have to think about Amir Khan's long-term security."
Khan has seen his life change in the last six weeks, becoming a British sporting celebrity.
Vali said Khan could still stay amateur despite talks planned for next week with promoters including Warren, who represented Frank Bruno and Naseem Hamed.
Although the rewards are far greater on the professional circuit, Vali said: "If things can be sorted out imminently, we'll listen to them."
The ABA believes Khan will be better served by waiting four years before capitalising on his fame.
"We want to protect him from turning professional too early and give him an opportunity to develop and flourish," King said.
