Fulham want Rodrigo Muniz to stay, per report

Fulham have told Rodrigo Muniz they want him to stay at the Club despite Atalanta’s interest in signing the Brazilian striker.

Muniz scored 27 goals in 98 Appearances during his four years at Fulham. He is now in the final year of his current contract. The Whites do have an option to extend a year.

Latest from Sky Sports News’ Dharmesh Sheth:

Fulham have made it clear to Rodrigo Muniz they want him to stay at the club.

Atalanta continue to push for a deal and Muniz is understood to be open to the move as they can offer him Champions League football.

Fulham have so far rejected Atalanta’s bids and would want a replacement before considering a sale.

With chants of ‘we want you to stay’ from the Fulham Faithful

Muniz came off the bench to score a 96-minute equaliser for Fulham at Brighton on Saturday.

I think we have to treat this situation as a whole new signing, give Muniz a new deal that he deserves & make him feel valued. 

He could be important for us for years to come, and still young enough that if he wanted to move on in the future, he could, and we can demand an even bigger fee.

We can’t currently seem to add a Striker to the Squad; Muniz needs to stay, otherwise, we will have a real problem in finding two Strikers before the window shuts.

COYW!
