Fulham have told Rodrigo Muniz they want him to stay at Craven Cottage despite Atlanta’s interest in signing the Brazilian striker, according to Sky Sports News.
Sky Sports News chief football correspondent Dharmesh Sheth says that the Whites have rejected all of the Serie A side’s bids, despite the 24 year-old informing Fulham that he would like to play Champions’ League football. Marco Silva praised the former Flamengo forward for making himself available to play in Fulham’s Premier League opener at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday, where he came off the bench to score a 97th minute equaliser.
Muniz, who has now scored 27 goals in 98 games during his four years at Fulham, is heading into the final year of his current contract at the Cottage. The Premier League outfit hold an option to extend that deal by a further twelve months and would need to sign a replacement striker before allowing Muniz to leave, according to Sheth. Reports in the Italian press over the weekend suggested that Atalanta have given Fulham until Tuesday to do the deal – or they will move on to other targets.
His commitment at Brighton doesn’t suggest to me he has gone in his head and as he has a 1+1 contract we have the ability to continue what we are doing and ignore offers.
Can we move on and focus on recruitment of a holding midfielder, two wingers and an additional forward (preferably under 35)!
I’d be happy if he stayed, BUT, he wants to go, and you can’t blame him as a great opportunity. If we got 40-50m AND invested that into Rasmus H from Utd, I’d be over the moon!
Imagine what Silva could do with him, and he showed glimpses of his talent in pre-season. Add Kevin and that’s 2 fantastic additions!
Just give Muniz a new better long contract and everyone will be happy, he is only going to get better and worth more money in a few years time, we need at least 3 more decent signings to supply Muniz and he will score more goals.
Pay the fella properly.. there are players in the 3rd run of English football earning more.. he clearly needs a better agent!! Come on Tony Khan, pull your finger out!!
Keep Rodrigoal at Craven Cottage..!!
Keep him a the Cottage giving him a decent long term contract. Of sold for about 40 million we not get a better striker anywhere for that money and we will,also have to offer a large salary. To me it is a no brainer. Muniz has one tear left on his contract wit another years option so we are in a strong position
They should keep Muniz and have him start the games. Then you can see if he is better than Jimenez.
Rodrigo Muniz is a complete centre forward scores with both feet and head, his hold up play is brilliant and plays his part defending also our manager has shown how much he likes him and we have heard him over and over tell the media he wants him at Fulham as he is part of his plans. What some people do not realize a lot of the media are not Fulham fans and would write things to discredit our players so do not believe all we see and hear from the media. Best wishes to FFC for the season and beyond COYW.
Khan just pay Muniz what he’s worth out your hand into your pocket you tight fucker let’s get Muniz playing regular and we will see a difference we can’t keep going on with the Mexican he’s so short of pace and against Brighton looked like a lost lamb COYW
Come on TK, splash the cash!! And then sell Muniz 2 or 3 years from now, for 100M!!
Atlanta have given Fulham till Tuesday?????
They can bugger off.
They want the player
They have been told the price
So THEY have until Tuesday
Agree with Eden FFC not popular with the media read reports and then smile a lot of useless info, Chris Sutten is a prime example never have a read a positive article about us, still ex Chelsea what would we expect!!
