Rodrigo Muniz is poised to undergo a medical in Brazil ahead of his proposed permanent transfer from Flamengo to Fulham, according to reports this afternoon.
Leading Brazilian journalist Vene Casagrande reports that Flamengo’s directors have concluded negotiations with Muniz and the striker’s representatives and that the player will have his medical in Brazil before travelling to London to meet his new team-mates. Flamengo accepted Fulham’s offer of around £7m in two staggered payments after the Londoners switched from an initial loan approach in order to secure the 20 year-old’s services. The Brazilian outfit are also entitled to a 20% sell-on clause, which they believe to be an excellent return for a player who only broke into their first team last year.
Flamengo are also understood to believe that a successful deal for Muniz could strengthen ties with leading European clubs. Fulham, following a successful intervention from chief executive Alistair Mackintosh, reached agreement with both Flamengo and Muniz, who has verbally agreed a five year contract at Craven Cottage, after being impressed by new manager Marco Silva’s personal approach. Both Genk and Al-Nasr had agreed fees with Flamengo but were rejected by the young forward in favour of the move to London.
This could be a really good signing for us play him alongside mitrovic with DCR on the right but let’s get Grimes signed up
We’re is Wilson then JC on the bench ?
Muniz Looks good , Silva clearly having a major decision on new signings , appreciates quality of existing key players and sure thanks to him no exodus of the squad
Fantastic-loved his videos
Good stuff. The fact that Brazilians talk Portuguese is a bonus for Marco. South America a good football area.
Think we’ll see Wilson playing a bigger role than BDR this season
There is definitely a different mindset at Fulham. To get all our transfer business done and dusted before the season starts, is unheard of. Something has changed, it is very unusual. If we get Muniz? What a great transfer window. Can’t wait for the season to begin
Think that once he settles in he could be a brilliant signing. Looks like we’ll have loads of options for team rotation this season, which will hopefully mean that very few players, if any, suffer burnout halfway through this seasons campaign. I’m excited !
very excited for the new season,, coyws, ?
Getting good vibes about silva, the signing look promising and sorted pre season,
