Tottenham Hotspur has successfully signed   24-year-old Brazilian defender…

According to a report from Giallorossi.net, Tottenham Hotspur are ready to fork out €20 million for Roger Ibanez this summer. It remains to be seen whether AS Roma are prepared to accept that kind of money for the Brazilian international.

Ibanez has been a key player for AS Roma, and they will want to recoup as much as possible for him. Apparently, they value the player at €40 million, but they could be willing to accept an offer of around €30-32 million this summer. However, Tottenham are looking to sign him for much less, at €20 million.

Spurs need to improve defensively, and Ibanez has emerged as a viable target to be a quality partner for Cristian Romero at the heart of their defence. The 24-year-old Brazilian international is versatile enough to play as a defensive midfielder as well, and he could prove to be a useful asset for Ange Postecoglou.

The Brazilian defender has already proven himself in Italy over the years, and he will be hoping to take the next step in his career. A transfer to the Premier League will be an attractive option for him, and Tottenham could prove to be the ideal move.

The North London club recently appointed Postecoglou as their manager, and the 57-year-old Australian has an impressive track record of improving players and getting the best out of them. He could help the 24-year-old Brazilian defender improve and fulfil his immense potential. If Spurs manage to sign him for €20 million, the move would be a major bargain.

Signing a quality defender should be one of Tottenham’s priorities this summer. And Ibanez certainly has the ability to settle in quickly and transform Tottenham defensively. It has been a disappointing season for Spurs, as they missed out on Champions League qualification. They will be desperate to get back into the top four and compete for trophies.

Signing a quality defender will help them tighten up at the back and it will allow the midfielders and creative players to operate with more freedom. The newly appointed 57-year-old Tottenham manager prefers to play free-flowing attacking football, and therefore he needs a reliable defensive unit at his disposal. Ibanez would be the ideal acquisition for him this summer.

Could Tottenham Hotspur sign David Raya from Brentford?

In our view, Tottenham Hotspur could be able to sign David Raya from Brentford in the summer transfer window.

Yes, the Bees are an established club in the Premier League who will not want to sell any of their best players for a fee below their valuation, but money talks.

If Tottenham are willing to pay between £30 million and £35 million and the goalkeeper himself is ready to make the move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, then a transfer could happen this summer.

Tottenham are one of the biggest clubs in England and regularly challenge for the Premier League top four.

A move to Spurs would one hugely appealing to Raya.
