Ipswich’s offer for signing is highly dependent on bonuses; rivals can win with cheaper fee

It appears like Ipswich Town have joined the hunt for Panathinaikos forward Fotis Ioannidis.

That was reported by Greek media and is now being covered in Portugal, where A Bola headlines the attempt.

It is claimed that Ipswich made a €22.5 million approach for Ioannidis, which was turned down by the Greek club.

An important feature is that €20 million is expected to be enough to land the striker; nevertheless, the English club’s offer was too reliant on transfer bonuses, which was not welcomed.

Sporting, who have been following Ioannidis for a while, are now more convinced that they can win this race because they can raise close to €20 million without relying on add-ons.
The Lions are set to send their fresh offer to Panathinaikos this week, and Ipswich could respond with a new bid.

Lille was the other team in this tournament, but because they were turned down by the player, they are unlikely to pursue him further.
