According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma were hoping to balance their books by selling Tammy Abraham, but that is no longer possible due to the striker’s critical injury.
Instead, Jose Mourinho’s team may now decide to sell Ibanez, who is attracting a lot of interest.
According to the source, Tottenham are now leading the fight for the centre-back, who is reportedly worth between €35m (£30.1m) and €40m (£34.4m).
Sport Mediaset also names Tottenham Hotspur as one of the major contenders for Ibanez’s signature, claiming that the North London club is up against Atletico Madrid for the 24-year-old.
According to the report, Roma ‘urgently’ need to raise finances to offset their losses and are now willing to sell the Brazil international for €40 million (£34.4 million).
After negotiations with Postecoglou, the Tottenham management is expected to finalize their list of targets in each position over the following few days.
Although the club may view Ibanez as a potential market opportunity, I believe the Roma star was primarily a Fabio Paratici goal.
