Report: Ipswich reach agreement in principle to sign Julio Enciso from Strasbourg

Ipswich are understood to have reached an agreement in principle to sign Julio Enciso from Strasbourg. The move is described as being led from within the club’s football operations and follows the forward’s six-month loan spell at Portman Road in 2025.

News of it was broken by Ben Jacobs, who reports that the clubs have aligned on key terms at this stage. No fee, contract details or timeline were cited in the report.

An agreement in principle typically signals broad accord between parties before the final steps of a transfer are completed. The latest reporting does not state whether medicals, final paperwork or formal announcements are imminent, and there is no indication of personal terms in the information provided.

Enciso’s prior stint at Ipswich last year is referenced in the reporting, which also says the push to bring him back has been driven by Gary O’Neil. Beyond that, further details around squad planning or the role envisaged for the Paraguay international have not been disclosed.

As things stand, this remains short of official confirmation. Clubs commonly communicate transfers only once every element is finalised, so the situation could yet evolve. The current position, as reported, is that Ipswich and Strasbourg have an agreement in principle concerning Enciso’s move.
