Tottenham prepared to pay €20mil for AS Roma’s Roger Ibanez
Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of defensive reinforcements has led them to set their sights on Roma’s talented defender, Roger Ibanez. The Brazilian’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed by Spurs, who are now preparing a bid of €20 million to secure his services, according to Giallorossi.net.
At just 24 years old, Ibanez has already established himself as a vital cog in Roma’s defensive setup. His versatility sets him apart from many other defenders in the market, capable of excelling as a full-back, central defender, and even a defensive midfielder.
This adaptability makes him an enticing prospect for Tottenham as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season. Ibanez is a talented central defender who could be the perfect addition to the club.
While Tottenham faces competition from several European clubs vying for Ibanez’s signature, the North London side has made their admiration for the Brazilian known. With Cristian Romero already on board, pairing him with Ibanez would undoubtedly strengthen Tottenham’s defensive line.
However, negotiations with Roma will not be straightforward, as the Italian club values Ibanez at €40 million. Tottenham’s initial offer of €20 million may seem far from the mark, but the London club is determined to secure the player’s services at a more reasonable price.
Tottenham’s pursuit of Ibanez stems from a clear need for defensive solidity. Their vulnerability at the back has been evident this season, resulting in a failure to secure a coveted top-four finish.

With Ibanez’s arrival, Tottenham would not only acquire a talented defender but also a player with significant potential for growth. At just 24, he has ample room to develop and improve further under the tutelage of manager Ange Postecoglou.
As the transfer saga unfolds in the coming weeks, Tottenham fans will be eagerly awaiting news of Ibanez’s potential arrival. If the club can secure the defender’s signature for a fee within their budget, it would be a significant step forward in their quest to compete at the highest level.
