The newspaper states that signing the centre-back has become a priority objective for Benfica. Nicolas Otamendi left the club this week to return to Argentina.

Any signing will require the stamp of approval from his new coach. Jose Mourinho is expected to return to Real Madrid.

Marco Silva is the leading candidate to replace him. Sport Witness has been covering various reports from Portugal on this matter over the past fortnight.

And while Benfica’s defensive targets are not yet known, there is definitely a name on the Fulham manager’s list. According to information from Jornal de Noticias, they have requested an evaluation of Famalicao defender Ibrahima Ba.

The Portuguese boss is interested in taking him to Craven Cottage. It remains to be seen whether he will still be interested in a move to Benfica. Either way, the defender is on their list and appears to be a player they are keen on.

The youngster joins Famalico’s U21 team on a free transfer in 2024 after coming through the ranks at Senegalese club AZEL Roufisc.

He played on loan at Valenciennes in 2023 but established himself in Portugal. So far he has made 27 appearances for Famalicão’s first team and 12 times for their U23 team. This season he played in 21 matches in Liga Portugal in 54% of available minutes, scoring once and assisting once.

His current deal with the Portuguese side runs until 2030 after he was handed a new deal at the end of March.

He is valued at €12m, but Famalicão will surely be looking for more than that, especially if a Premier League team like Fulham comes calling. It may depend on Marco Silva, and what he does with himself this summer.

Tottenham requested a discount – €10 million not generous enough

Manor Solomon
Rome, Italy 7 January 2026: Manor Solomon of ACF Fiorentina during the Serie A 2025-26 football match between SS Lazio vs ACF Fiorentina at the Olimpico Stadium

last week, sports witness Comments from Tottenham loanee Manor Solomon’s agent regarding a loan transfer to Fiorentina were covered.

The attacker spent the first half of the season on loan at Villarreal until that period was cut short in January. He was out of Spurs’ plans this season, prompting his transfer to Florence.

The Israel international has already become an important player for Paolo Vanoli’s team. In the first campaign, they finished bottom of Serie A, but are moving towards possible survival and recovery.

The Tottenham loanee has scored two goals in seven matches, netting against Torino and Napoli. He played a role in this revival in Florence.

Solomon flourishing away from Tottenham

The 26-year-old’s praise continues to grow corriere dello sport Given the impact he has made at Fiorentina. They describe him as Serie A’s ‘most successful winter signing’, suggesting he is making a big impression on the first team.

The newspaper also appreciates his versatility, as Solomon can play on the left or right side. It is said that his impact was evident from the moment he made his debut in early January.

With Albert Gudmundsson injured, Solomon has been playing regularly. His playing time may increase only in the next few weeks.

Spurs asked for exemption

Despite all the praise, the newspaper criticizes the attacker’s defensive contribution. This is used as an excuse to question whether Fiorentina should really pay €10m to Tottenham and sign Solomon permanently.

This is actually paradoxical, because even though Solomon has been given hero status, it seems that Fiorentina will hold back when it comes to signing him permanently. Perhaps if the winger continues to perform, those doubts may also fade away.

At Villarreal, Solomon got three assists in the Coppa Italia. He had one goal and one assist in Serie A in limited playing time. This shows that the potential is there and he needs the game time to showcase it.
