Another start for Josip Ilicic, another forgettable performance from the former Palermo man.Newly-promoted Bologna have reached a 7 million agreement in principle with Fiorentina for midfielder Josip Ilicic.

The 27-year-old Slovenian international has endured a mixed spell in Florence since signing from Palermo in 2013, but ended the season in fine form scoring a flurry of goals.

According to Gazzetta.it, that has not been enough to convince the Viola hierarchy to turn down Bologna director Pantaleo Corvino’s 7 million offer for the player.

An agreement between the two clubs has been reached, but Bologna are trying to persuade Ilicic to lower his demands of a four-year deal worth 1 million per season.

Developments are expected in the coming days, but it is looking increasingly likely that Ilicic will be lining up in the Rossoblu for next season.

Ilicic netted nine goals in 33 appearances for Fiorentina this season across all competitions.
