Fulham make £8m opening offer for Torino star Sasa Lukic, with the Italians ready to cash in on the 26-year-old Serbia international as Marco Silva looks to bolster his midfield options
Fulham have made an opening offer of around £8m for Torino midfielder Sasa Lukic.
The Serie A side are reportedly close to sealing a deal for Verona midfielder Ivan Ilic, which will allow 26-year-old Lukic to make his way to London.
Marco Silva’s Fulham side are flying this season and find themselves seventh in the Premier League just after the halfway point in the season.

Lukic is a Serbia international who featured for his country at the World Cup in Qatar last month. He is set to sign a deal at Craven Cottage until the summer of 2026, according to reports in Italy.
He can play either as a No 6 or a No 8 as Silva looks to find competition for his midfield trio of Andreas Pereira, Harrison Reed and Joao Palhinha.
Lukic has three goals and one assist in 18 appearances for Torino this season.
Fulham boss Marco Silva is looking to strengthen depth in his midfield for the second-half of the season
The long-serving Torino star has less than 18 months remaining on his contract and therefore a new challenge may appeal.
Fulham are preparing to host Sunderland in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday afternoon before they face west London rivals Chelsea – whom they beat just a fortnight ago at Craven Cottage.
Silva has not ventured into the market in this window but Fulham have been heavily linked with bringing Arsenal defender Cedric Soares in on loan.
