Dont know much about him but 25m is too much i would think!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Ugh Palermo..

Pastore mk II?

My knowledge of him consists of this:

Palermo player from Slovenia, 23 and attacking midfielder XD

If anyone follows Seria A he can tell us more about him...

[Igi26 346]

He is attacking midfielder, can play on left wing or as second striker. He have a very good tehnique and a decent long shoot. I will ask my mate who is following him more for better description.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I've only watched Palermo four or five times this season and here's what I made of him:

Positives: He is a young attacking midfielder. He has good pace and very good movement off the ball.

Negatives: His finishing is ZERO!

I think he's worth around 10m. 25m is ridiculous.

There is a price and there is a Chelsea price

25 is way too much.

[Amblève. 4,995]

He's been too streaky so far at the highest level. Even 10m would be too much when you consider that, for example, Pjanic was sold for 12m.

He is a decent player, but definitely not the quality we should be signing if we want go back to our best.

Stevan Jovetic and Hernanes are the few players worth considering in Seria A.

Great player, would love to se him at Chelsea but I would prefer Krasic or Dzagoev before him.

Actually 10m is the Chelsea price!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Has a thunderous shot on him.

Chelsea track Palermo's Jojo

Premier League giants Chelsea are interested in signing Palermo midfielder Josip Ilicic, according to the player's agent.

Amir Ruznic claims the Slovenian, nicknamed Jojo, has attracted interested from the west London giants although the 23-year-old recently signed a new deal with the club.

Serie A clubs Inter Milan and Juventus are also reportedly keen on the former Maribor player.

Ruznic told fcinter1908.it: "I know that Inter Milan like Ilicic, as do Juventus and Chelsea, but so far no one has come forward with an offer to me.

"Josip recently extended his contract with Palermo until 2016, but there is a buy-out clause in his contract. However, I cannot say how much it is."

And Ruznic denied that Ilicic could even move away from the Stadio Renzo Barbera in January, saying: "It's obvious that if someone pays the clause, everything is possible. But I think he will remain in Palermo until June at least.

"(Palermo's owner, Maurizio) Zamparini has made clear that Ilicic will not move away in January and I think it is the best solution for the guy. It is risky to change teams at mid-season."

And on the player's preference of potential future club, he added: "Josip has always said that when he eventually leaves Palermo, he'll want to stay in Italy."

Buy-out clause hey? :eyebrows:

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Have I just seen Zamparini's name around ?

That can't be good.

Since when are players buy-out clauses undisclosed?
