According to Sky Sports News, Ipswich Town is getting closer to securing Sammie Szmodics, a player previously targeted by Leeds United. The difference between Ipswich’s offer and Blackburn Rovers’ asking price is now minimal.
Szmodics showcased his goal-scoring prowess for Blackburn in the Championship last season, prompting the club to consider selling him for the right amount.
Although Leeds had shown interest, Ipswich seems to be leading the race to sign Szmodics. Ongoing discussions between Ipswich and Blackburn have yielded significant progress, with only a small gap remaining in their respective valuations.
Reportedly, personal terms are not expected to pose a challenge if a deal is reached. Szmodics is eager to make a move to the Premier League, and a switch to Portman Road could provide him with that opportunity.
The potential departure of Szmodics would undoubtedly impact Blackburn, raising doubts about how they intend to fill the void left by the 27 league goals he netted last season.
