Ipswich Football Club have reached an agreement in principle with Blackburn Rovers over the transfer of Smodic, marking the imminent conclusion of the transfer of the Championship Golden Boot from last season, according to a new report from Sky Sports.
Reports suggest that negotiations between Ipswich and Blackburn Rovers are progressing well, with both clubs having reached a basic agreement on the transfer of Smodic. Next, the Irish attacker is expected to undergo a medical with Ipswich on Friday morning in order to complete the final procedure before the transfer. If the medical goes well, the transfer is expected to be officially announced within the next 24 hours.
Smodic had an outstanding performance in the Championship last season, he made 44 appearances on behalf of Blackburn Rovers and scored a staggering 27 goals, successfully picking up the honor of last season's Championship Golden Boot. This outstanding performance not only proved his great strength in the attacking end, but also made him the target of many clubs chasing him.
Smodic, 28, is an Irish international who has shown excellent shooting skills and a keen sense of offense on the field. His contract with Blackburn Rovers was due to expire in the summer of 2026, but in the face of Ipswich's sincere invitation and lucrative conditions, he has clearly made the decision to join. Smodic is currently valued at €7 million in the German transfer market, but considering his actual performance and market potential, this transfer is undoubtedly a good deal for Ipswich.
With the addition of Smodic, Ipswich will add an important scorer in the offense. His arrival will not only improve the team's offensive firepower, but also provide a strong guarantee for the team to achieve better results in the Championship. Fans are looking forward to the arrival of this new recruit, and believe that he can continue to show his talent and strength in the new environment.
