It has recently been suggested that Ipswich Town might make a move for Claudio Braga, although the Daily Record has since reported that the Suffolk outfit are not preparing a deal in the near future.

According to Portuguese outlet Jogo, Ipswich Town have already lodged a £9.5million offer for Claudio Braga. The report states Braga is expected to leave Hearts this summer, and that while Ipswich wait to find out whether they can proceed with the deal, Rangers could intervene in it.

The Portuguese newspaper O Jogo has reported that Ipswich Town are preparing a club-record offer for Hearts striker Claudio Braga, valued at approximately €11m (£9.5m). If the deal is completed, it would be the largest signing in the club's history. O Jogo also reports that Braga is edging towards a move to the Premier League.

Hearts forward Claudio Braga has two years remaining on his contract at Tynecastle and has said that he wants to stay and play in the Champions League. Hearts are scheduled to face Sturm Graz in a qualifying game later this month. However, a report from The Daily Record states an exit for the player appears likely.
