Tottenham and Leicester keeping tabs on Roger Ibanez

Roma defender Roger Ibanez has been linked with the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City recently

The 22-year-old centre back signed a new long term contract with the Italian outfit recently and he has a release clause of €80 million (£69m) in his new deal.

According to Calciomercato, the release clause will be valid until mid or late July and the defender’s suitors will not be able to trigger it in the final weeks of the summer transfer window.

There is no doubt that the Brazilian is a talented defender but he has done nothing to justify the €80 million price tag so far and it would be highly surprising if his suitors decided to splash that kind of money on him this summer.
