Ipswich Town Make Ambitious Move for Iván Azón Amid Valencia Competition

Ipswich Town have submitted a big loan offer to Como for Iván Azón, a Spanish striker. They want to sign him with terms that show their Premier League goals and are trying to beat Valencia in the race to secure his services.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Ipswich Town have proposed a loan deal to Serie A side Como for Iván Azón. The offer includes an obligation to buy if Ipswich gets promoted to the Premier League, a buy option if they don’t, and a big loan fee. Meanwhile, Valencia has also made a loan offer to Como for Azón, hoping to strengthen their attack for the 2025/26 La Liga season. According to a recent report, Valencia’s talks are in advanced stages, with Como covering Azón’s salary, but the deal is not yet done. Ipswich’s offer could potentially hijack Valencia’s plans.

AZÓN’S APPEAL AND RECENT FORM

Iván Azón, 22, played for Como last season, scoring 8 goals and providing 3 assists in 32 Serie A matches. His strong work rate and versatility as a striker or winger have made him an attractive target for clubs looking to boost their attacking options. Ipswich, recently relegated from the Premier League will play the Championship this season and aim at securing promotion back into the top tier of English football this season. Valencia, on the other hand, are seeking attacking options after finishing in the bottom half in La Liga last season, narrowly avoiding relegation, and looking to avoid a similar struggle in the new season.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR IPSWICH, VALENCIA, AND AZÓN?

Ipswich start their Championship campaign in two weeks. Valencia, meanwhile, begin their La Liga season against Real Sociedad and are under pressure to start strong, having finished just behind La Real last season. For Azón, the next few days are crucial as he and Como decide which club’s project aligns best with his career goals, with both Ipswich and Valencia pushing for a quick resolution before the new league seasons start.
