Torino report Ilic undergoing personalised training in Pinzolo amid Zenit interest – VIDEO
Ivan Ilic is training in Pinzolo. Here is the video of the intensive session from Torino’s retreat, the offer from Zenit, and the progress of the negotiations.
The Torino training camp continues seamlessly in Pinzolo. At the foot of the mountains that dot the Val Rendena, the team led by new coach Paolo is hard at work.
Footage from the training session shows Ivan Ilic fully engaged in rigorous drills alongside his teammates. The midfielder has been the subject of intense transfer speculations recently.
Zenit St. Petersburg has reportedly tabled a substantial offer for Ilic. According to sources close to the negotiation, the Russian club is very keen to secure the services of the Serbian international.
“The offer from Zenit is quite tempting, but we are carefully considering all options,” a Torino insider revealed, speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the ongoing discussions.
Despite the lucrative deal on the table, Ilic’s commitment to his current club is evident in his enthusiasm during training sessions. His focus remains undeterred as Torino gears up for the new season.
The negotiations continue with neither party showing signs of rushing the decision. Both clubs are well aware of the high stakes involved.
Paolo, Torino’s head coach, stated in a recent press conference, “We value Ivan highly. He is integral to our plans, but we understand the nature of the sport. We will act in the best interest of our club and the player.”
As the situation develops, fans eagerly await the outcome. Will Ilic accept Zenit’s offer, or will he stay put and play a crucial role in Torino’s future? Only time will tell.
