Overview
- Ipswich have confirmed the permanent signing of Serbia international Saša Lukić from Fulham for a straight £9 million fee on a four-year deal.
- The 29-year-old completed and passed a medical before the move and becomes Ipswich’s eighth senior signing of the summer and the club’s second recruit from Fulham.
- Lukić arrives with more than 100 Premier League appearances and extensive international experience, offering defensive discipline and midfield stability to a promoted side reshaping its squad.
- Fulham agreed the sale while Lukić had one year left on his contract, a decision that reduces the risk of losing the player for free next summer and frees the club to reshape its midfield.
- A pending visa prevents Lukić from playing immediately, and his arrival is intended to give Gary O’Neil short-term depth and competition in central midfield as Ipswich prepare for the 2026–27 Premier League campaign.
