The 29-year-old centre-back, who joined Fulham from West Ham United in August 2022, is expected to sign a four-year contract with the newly promoted Premier League side following his impressive performances for the Atlas Lions at the 2026 World Cup.
According to Foot Mercato, a full agreement has been reached between Fulham and Ipswich Town. The player has also agreed to personal terms on a four-year deal, and he will undergo his medical test very soon.
