Bologna’s transfer market, last-minute defensive coup: Introducing Ilic

Bologna FC is making notable moves in the transfer market and has recently finalised a deal for Mihajlo Ilic. Renowned Italian football journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Ilic, a centre-back born in 2003, is soon due to arrive from Partizan Belgrade.

Upon reaching an agreement with the Serbian club for €5.5 million, the defender is expected to arrive in Italy in the coming days and will then sign with Bologna.

According to the same report, Bologna market men Sartori and Di Vaio also have their eyes on another Serbian talent, Svetozar Markovic, who is Ilic’s teammate at Partizan. But it seems the club may have competition, with a number of foreign teams interested in Markovic.
