Tractor Boys revisit Enciso signing
Ipswich Town are in talks with Strasbourg over the permanent signing of forward Julio Enciso.
The 22-year-old Paraguay international had an impressive spell on loan at Ipswich in their last Premier League season in 2024/25. He also worked with Ipswich boss Gary O’Neil at Strasbourg last season.
Meanwhile, Strasbourg may yet take 19-year-old Chelsea right-back Godwin Antwi on loan.
West London calling for Real Madrid talent?
Fulham remain in discussions with Real Madrid over the signing of Thiago Pitarch.
As Daily Mail Sport reported last month, the teenager is wanted by Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa as well as £43million duo Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios, who are due in London today.
At 18 years and 226 days, Pitarch became Madrid’s youngest player to start twice in the Champions League knockout stages, surpassing Brazil forward Vinicius Jr’s record by 10 days.
