Report: Club to sign Man City man for 10m, Guardiola could sign him back for 20m

Ivan Ilic has impressed at Hellas Verona and Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Sport Witness) say he will soon become a permanent signing. The 20-year-old had no way of getting playing time at Manchester City, so he was loaned to Verona for the season and has been a regular under Ivan Djuric.

Pep Guardiola recognises his ability and wants to keep Ilic at the Etihad Stadium, but a deal is in place for Verona to land his signature for €10m. The only way City can bring him back to Manchester is by paying €20m, as per terms of the buyback clause.
