With only 19 minutes played this season so far, Atalanta defender Roger Ibañez could leave the club in January to get some more playing time elsewhere. The centre-back would like to move to a different club - as Atalanta have also showed interest in signing another centre-back such as Torino's Kevin Bonifazi - where he could play more regularly, a desire the Brazilian already expressed at the end of last summer's transfer window.
In the last few days a couple of clubs have made an approach to show their interest in the player, who is pondering the following options: Sampdoria, which are on the market for a defender, and Brazilian side Red Bull Bragantino, a club that is investing in South American young players and playing in a league that the 21-year-old centre-back is already familiar with.
