Atalanta, Ilicic is set to join, Sampdoria is furious

This is the transfer market. The road for Ilicic to join Sampdoria seemed to be paved, but it now it looks to be off course. Enter Atalanta instead, who offered more money to the player and to Fiorentina, and seems to have secured the player's services. They are offering him a contract of 3 years plus an option for a fourth year and the club will be receiving 5.5 million euros plus bonuses. The player was adamant about joining Atalanta instead, and he will now be heading to Bergamo where tomorrow the medicals will take place, instead of in Genoa with Sampdoria, leaving the club furious.
