A summer sale of 25-year-old Serbian international Ivan Ilić is reportedly considered inevitable by Torino, as the midfielder is no longer in the club's plans, particularly since the arrival of the new manager. The club wants to avoid a further decrease in the value of the player, who was signed from Verona for €16.5 million and is under contract until 2027.
His future may be in the Bundesliga, and both FSV Mainz 05 and Freiburg are described as being particularly attentive. Both German clubs are seeking a midfielder with technical qualities, vision, and playmaking ability, which are characteristics Ilić is believed to possess. The midfielder has 24 caps for Serbia. Torino is now waiting for concrete offers to be made. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €10.00m. In January 2026, the club reportedly set a minimum asking price of €10 million.
