Fulham have had a £14m bid for Goztepe’s Brazilian striker Romulo rejected, according to the Athletic’s David Ornstein.
The 23 year-old forward, who scored 17 goals in 33 games in Turkey last term, is being tracked by a number of European sides including RB Leipzig, Feyenoord, Fenerbahce and Zenit Saint Petersburg. Fulham have been watching the former Athletico Paranaense extensively and submitted an offer of around £13.75m that was rejected by the Turkish outfit, who want £17m for the 6’1” striker.
Marco Silva is keen to supplement his striking options this summer and the Whites remain in talks with Goztepe, who finished eighth in last season’s Super Lig, to see if they can strike a deal. The Londoners have just extended the contract of Mexican veteran Raul Jimenez, currently starring at the Gold Cup and are believed to be ready to open discussions with Rodrigo Muniz – the subject of a £26m bid from Leeds – in the coming weeks.
Go and get him
Not a large gap between offer and fee wanted. If we are serious should be negotiable. Be nice to get someone in early!!
Please ensure that you get him. Earlier the better rather than later.
Wow Fulham bidding for a younger player at last. The idea of signing anymore 30 plus year olds i hoped will be something of the past. once players get to that age are normally on the downward slope and are in for the money but i will not hold my breath
If they want him, what’s another £3m? If they can’t find that, they don’t really want him.
Just give em the 17 and stop dikkin around. Careful guys… we might make an early signing…wouldnt want that!
Go get him also keep Muniz, Jimenez is getting on now, we need young and players who want to make a name for themselves.
Reports say he wants to join Leipzig and Wolves also interested. So lets move fast for once offer the full asking price then the player will have to make the decision. If we dither 100% we will lose him
They are probably going to wait until he’s in his 30s and past it
£13 millions!?? They are asking £17 mill. Others interested and we penny pinch, where have I seen this before?
Just get it done before someone else does.
What are we waiting for a player under 25 with a sensible price tag. No one Marco is probably tearing his hair out
It would be great to get this guy but we can’t offer European football where other clubs can it’s only Marco Silva who attracts these players that’s why it’s important we keep him happy,the Khans told Marco they would provide the funds to sign Five Marquee signings plus a couple good loan deals that has not happened yet maybe we have not found those marquee signings to push us to the next level,this is a very important season for our team and our Manager coming up can we progress, I sincerely hope this happens and T Khan is always
ready to heap praise on himself for who he has signed but also must take the flack if it don’t happen so Come on TK make this happen and don’t sign journeymen at 10:30pm on the last day of the window if not be prepared to take the flack that comes with it and let the fans kick his backside
