Fulham have rejected loan interest in striker Carlos Vinicius and told the Brazilian’s suitors that they will only countenance his departure if they submit permanent offers of at least £9m.
Atlético Mineiro and Augsburg tabled loan approaches earlier this afternoon with the former Benfica centre forward himself keen on a loan move away from Craven Cottage until the summer having fallen out of favour with head coach Marco Silva earlier this season. The 28 year-old is also on the shortlist of Bayer Leverkusen, Sevilla and Valencia in La Liga and Sao Paulo in his homeland and fears that Fulham’s asking price will scupper his chances of moving on during this window.
Vinicius, who has scored eight goals in 48 games for Fulham, has slipped behind compatriot Rodrigo Muniz with his compatriot available for selection after he suffered a knee problem. Silva is set to keep hold of Muniz and try to sell Vinicius as he seeks to bring in another striker with Chelsea’s Armando Broja his number one choice at present.
Fulham playing ‘hard ball ‘as usual. Hopefully, this approach will not scupper our chances of bringing in a new striker but you never know…..
Where’s Adams Traore he can play striker he’s the man that time forgot. and we have all forgotten him is he related to Kongolo what is it with some of these players get rid of Vinicius bring back one of our own Jay Stansfield he is Fulham thru and thru we know he’s not proven in the prem but he’s got to be better than Vinicius and Muniz or does Marco not want to do that in case he’s proved wrong it would also save us loads of money or give BDR a go up front
Traore is injured as usual. Has been for weeks.
And we can’t bring Stanno back. There was a deadline to do that and we let it pass.
BDR up front, doing what? At the moment he’s more of a hinder than a help, a player who hasn’t got and doesn’t no his role in the side. Inconsistency from Marco hasn’t helped his confidence.
