West Bromwich Albion has made a tempting offer for Branislav Ivanovic, however, three-time Premier League champions would opt for Fulham or Everton without moving on to the Hawthorns, according to B92.
It is not a 36-year-old loose agent who disents from such an application.
But, again, there are few on the market with a cv like Ivanovic’s.
Before recommending that The Chelsea Hero is a guy beyond his heyday, this: he was the captain of Zenit St. Petersburg under the Russian name in July.
Ivanovic is now available for nothing after his contract at The Gazprom Arena expires, and B92 confirms Championat’s claims that the newly promoted West Brom has started negotiations.
Unfortunately for Slaven Bilic, the Baggies rank third in the hierarchical order of Ivanovic, Fulham and Everton.
For nine years laden with trophies in Chelsea, the 105-year-old Serbian alien moved to west London and Scott Parker’s Fulham will offer him the chance to return to a family setting.
However, a move to Goodison Park would see Ivanovic reunite with his former Blues chief Carlo Ancelotti, European’s captivating grandfather who has already reunited with two of his favorite sons this summer: Allan and James Rodriguez.
“Ancelotti is very different. If the players had a choice, I guess they’d rather spend their entire career with Carlo. He is very quiet and takes all the negative aspects of it, allowing players to feel comfortable,” Ivanovic told ESPN in 2017. .
West Brom can at least hang his hat on the fact that he is the only Premier League club to have made a serious offer for the violent right-back turned-middle-back.
