Atlético Madrid are looking to strengthen their defense and have set their sights on a Brazilian player. After a difficult season with problems on and off the pitch, the Spanish club are preparing their move on the transfer market. Their eyes are therefore on a player who has shone this season and who is regularly selected for the Brazilian national team.
Currently at Roma, where he is one of the best players in the team, Ibañez is the target for Atletico Madrid. The Brazilian defender had a superb season with the Italian club, reaching the UEFA Europa League final and playing a key role in winning the Conference League in the 2021/2022 season.

Aged just 24, Ibañez was also being courted by Tottenham, but so far no concrete offers have been made. However, Atletico Madrid are showing growing interest in the Brazilian player. Currently linked to Roma until 2025, his transfer value is estimated at around 30 million euros.
Roma won’t let Ibañez go easily
It won’t be easy for Roma to let Ibañez go without a fight. The Italian club are likely to ask for more than their current value as the defender is young and has promising potential. Atlético Madrid will have to make a convincing offer if they want to secure the services of this talented Brazilian defender.
