Hellas Verona are eager to keep hold of Manchester City midfielder Ivan Ilic.

Corriere dello Sport says Hellas Verona are keen to keep Ilic on loan for another season, but can't afford a permanent deal just yet.

Hellas Verona have increased their offer to €1.5m to take Ilic, 20, for another season.

However, with a year left on his City contract, it's said City are holding out for a €10m permanent sale.

Ilic has been on the books at City since 2017.
