Fulham appear committed to signing a Serie A defender, but after negotiations for Igor with Fiorentina ran into difficulties,
the club turned to Roma center-back and Tottenham Hotspur target Roger Ibanez.
According to Tuttomercatoweb and Firenzeviola.it, Fulham and Fiorentina have been in negotiations for a few weeks, but
there hasn’t been much movement.
The situation has grown so frustrating that the Premier League team is willing to shift their focus to another goal, even
though it will still be on Italian land but will have a Brazilian flavor.
Ibanez, whom Roma are desperate to sell before June 30 in order to help balance the books, is their next choice.
The asking price was €30m, but since time was running out and other bids were closing, they were persuaded to lower it
significantly by including bonuses.
The 24-year-old Brazilian player has two senior caps and was previously linked to a summer transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.

Journalist says what he’s learning about Harry Kane from Germany “blows my mind.”
Harry Kane reportedly wants to sign with Bayern Munich this summer, according to reliable German sources.
According to Dean Jones, who discussed the Tottenham star on The Done Deal Show, that is the case.
This week, Bayern Munich made a bid for Harry Kane, and oddly, the perception in Germany is that Kane would welcome
the move.
It’s interesting to note that local publications have generally said the reverse, with many English media sources claiming that
Kane’s top priority is to break Alan Shearer’s Premier League scoring record
German sources convinced
Jones shared what he’s hearing from Germany about Kane.
“Munich doesn’t have the same pull as Madrid or Barcelona, no doubt it’s a giant, but German sources are adamant, they are
adamant that they Kane wants this move to Bayern Munich, and that kind of blows my mind if that’s the case.
They’ve obviously had conversations around this with his brother and others and they believe these bids are worth making,”
Jones said.
Interesting
It’s interesting to hear that German sources believe Kane wants this move.
From the outside looking in, there are two ways to look at this.
On one hand, a move to Munich would provide Kane the chance to end his personal trophy drought, but on the other hand, a move to Germany doesn’t really seem to suit some of his personal ambitions.
Kane, by all accounts, loves his life in London, and as we’ve said, he’ll want that Premier League goalscoring record as well.
This is a transfer saga that is difficult to decipher, and we may just have to wait and see where Kane ultimately ends up at the end of the summer.
