Torino midfielder Ivan Ilic is being linked with a move to Fulham.
The story comes from Tuttosport, relayed by TuttoMercatoWeb, claiming that the player is not getting all the minutes he wanted at the Serie A side.
It’s said he ‘clearly expressed his disappointment and dissatisfaction’ with the situation, and the club want to sort that out.
Torino spent big when signing Ilic in a €15.7m move from Verona back in January, and it’s said they don’t want to give up on the player.
However, that’s where Fulham are brought into the picture in a quite peculiar way for this ‘intriguing transfer’.
Tuttosport writes that Whites midfielder Sasa Lukic is ‘great friends’ with Ilic, and advised the Craven Cottage side to sign the 22-year-old.
The duo play together for Serbia’s national team, having started alongside each other in the last match against Montenegro.
Now it remains to be seen whether Lukic’s opinion could have some weight on Fulham’s transfer desires. Ilic is currently valued by Transfermarkt at €19m, but his situation at Torino could definitely give the Whites some good arguments in the talks for a transfer.
