Fulham defender Issa Diop is set to join Ipswich Town from Fulham.
The two clubs have come to a verbal agreement over a deal for the Moroccan defender, 29, with the fee expected to be around £8.5m.
Diop has played 96 times for Fulham since joining in 2022 and has scored three times for the club.
He had a successful summer with Morocco, reaching the quarter-finals of the World Cup and scoring a crucial equaliser against the Netherlands.
Diop scored in the final game of last season as Fulham beat Newcastle 2-0 at Craven Cottage in what looks like being his final appearance for the Whites.
Fulham FC Statement
The Club can confirm that Issa Diop has joined Ipswich Town for an undisclosed fee.
The centre-back departs after four years in SW6, a spell which saw him embody professionalism, commitment and dependability.
Diop said: "I'd like to thank everyone at Fulham. I'm grateful to have worked alongside such a great group of teammates, coaches and staff every day.
"I'd also like to thank the supporters for all of their backing during my time here – it always meant a lot to me. I'm proud of what we achieved and the memories we created, and hope that Fulham continue to be successful.
"Merci, Fulham!"
Tony Khan said: "In his four years at Fulham, Issa Diop has given his all for the Club every time that he was called upon.
"We have enjoyed many memorable moments from Issa over the years, and he was the first ever Fulham player to score in a League Cup Semi-Final at Craven Cottage.
"His strong performances at the World Cup this summer showed the player that we all know Issa to be. I am very grateful to Issa for everything that he’s done for the Club, and we all wish him well in his new chapter at Ipswich Town.
"Come on Fulham!"
It’s been almost four years since Diop walked through the doors at Motspur Park, a place where he’s been a very popular presence ever since.
He leaves Fulham just shy of 100 appearances in black and white, and he could never be accused of not giving his all every time he was called upon.
Diop netted three times for the Club, one of which saw him become only the second player to ever score for us in a League Cup Semi-Final, and another that aptly came on his final appearance, the season finale victory over Newcastle United in May.
We wish Issa the best of luck at Portman Road, and look forward to seeing him in the Premier League again next season, off the back of his excellent World Cup campaign with Morocco.
