A career best 10 goals in 30 matches almost saved Palermo from the drop, but will most likely signal an end to Ilicic's career with the Rosanero.

Fiorentina will sign Palermo playmaker Josip Ilicic according to Rosanero president Maurizio Zamparini, though a deal is not official yet.

An official announcement is expected to be made in the coming days, bringing an end to one of the most talked about transfer of this summer’s transfer window.

“Ilicic is already a Fiorentina player,” Zamparini stated.

The Slovenian midfielder was wanted by number of clubs, both in Italy and abroad, but the Slovenian revealed he was only interested in remaining in the peninsula.

Ilicic was signed by Palermo in 2010 from Maribor, but the relegation of the Rosanero compelled him to find a new club.
