User localization and beam management are tightly linked in extremely large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (XL-MIMO) systems, especially in dense low-altitude economy (LAE) scenarios. However, the near-field propagation in XL-MIMO introduces strong distance sensitivity and complex spatial coupling, which makes joint trajectory and beam prediction challenging. Meanwhile, large language models (LLMs) have attracted attention in physical-layer transmission for modeling long-range dependencies. In this paper, we propose NF-TrackLLM, a multi-modal semantic-aware framework for near-field unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) positioning and beam prediction in XL-MIMO systems. By incorporating visual and LiDAR sensing into a Sionna-based channel generation pipeline, environmental semantics and GPS are utilized to guide trajectory and beam prediction. Built upon the aligned multi-modal representation, a GPT-2-based spatiotemporal reasoning backbone, and a cascaded prediction strategy are employed, where future trajectories are first inferred and then used to guide beam prediction as geometric priors. Simulation results demonstrate that NF-TrackLLM achieves accurate beam prediction and reliable UAV trajectory tracking in dense urban low-altitude scenarios.
