Josip Ilicic har gjort dundersuccé i Palermo. Nu hävdar hans agent Amir Ruznic att många engelska storklubbar är intresserade av Ilicic.
”Clubs from England are going crazy for him – Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea all want him,” sa Ruznic till Sportal.
”But Chelsea wants him the most. There is also an interest from Spain, other Italian clubs and Russia, but I doubt that transfer will happen soon.
”[Palermo president] Maurizio Zamparini wants him for at least the next two years. He is 70 years old and he doesn’t need the money, he just wants to do something big with Palermo.
”He wants them to be champions, but who knows what will happen.
”Clubs are ready to pay €15millon for Ilicic but that is not enough. If somebody is ready to pay €20, €25 million, than something could happen.
”But he won’t leave for less than 20 millon euros, that is for sure.”
