Transfer Talk: Josip Iličić inquiries made

TRANSFER TALK


Josip Iličić is one of the most sought-after players on the market in Italy. They suggest Leicester City, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur are interested from the Premier League while Borussia Dortmund has made an offer from Germany and Bologna from Italy.

Iličić is a 28-year-old (29 in January) Slovenian footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Italian club Fiorentina. He is a left-footed, under contract until 2018 and is sponsored by Nike, who will be our new sponsors.

Fiorentina want to build a young squad and selling  Iličić would generate revenue for their transfer budget, but equally, they are aware that they would have to find a bargain to replace him and that wouldn't be easy. If they waited another year his value is soon going to decrease because of his age so it is an optimum time to sell him.

His age would make it a surprise if we were serious and while Liverpool are said to have agreed on a deal with the player. Clubs in Italy only want Balotelli if he is free and they only have to cover his wages. Fiorentina, under new Technical Director, has turned down the deal.
