Slovenian player Josip Ilcic has impressed Manchester United but they are reportedly facing some stiff competition from Russian clubs for his signing. The playmaker signed for Serie A side Palermo in the summer for €2 million (£1.7 million), but the Italian club could be set to command a fee of up to €20 million less than a year after bringing him west from NK Maribor.
Ilcic’s fine form this season has seen him become one of the hottest properties in European football.
