Amir Ruznic, agent of Palermo's player Josip Ilicic, interviewed by Sky Sport 24, said:

You played with Pescara from '97 till 99' together with Massimiliano Allegri, how come you did not recommend Josip Ilicic to Milan?

"Well, I did. I don't know if it is still possible, but I did it in the past".

Are you negotiating the contract renewal with Palermo?

"Yes, yes, let's say we haven't asked for it, it's the president that intends to give a sort of prize for the performance this season. I think we'll sit down and talk about it in the next few weeks, it won't be a problem".
