Despite Corriere dello Sport describing Fiorentina’s Igor as ‘one of the most disappointing’ pieces of Vincenzio Italiano’s squad last season, Fulham remain interested in signing him.
The Brazilian has been linked with a move to Craven Cottage for a while now, as Marco Silva looks to add some depth to his defence ahead of next season.
Fulham surprised many by their good form in their return to the Premier League during the last campaign, and the Portuguese manager will be wanting to improve on the 10th spot they managed to clinch.
Conceding fewer goals will be key to that aim, and the signing of Igor could help towards that, as the player ‘seems to have his bags in hand’ ahead of an exit from Fiorentina this summer.
Fulham have reportedly ‘been waiting for him for some time’ for him, and that’s one of the reasons why he and Lucas Martínez Quarta are ‘ready to leave’ the Serie A club in the next few months.
The Florence side have already found some potential replacements to the Brazilian, with Isak Hien as the latest candidate to be added to Italiano’s list.
Considering how badly Igor wants to leave, he shouldn’t be too expensive for Fulham, with more updates likely to filter through in the coming days.
