Fulham have reportedly been linked with a move for 23-year-old Argentine midfielder Fausto Vera this week.
According to Jorge Nicola, Fulham have made an enquiry for Fausto Vera over a move in the ongoing transfer window. And it remains to be seen whether they can convince Corinthians to sell the 23-year-old defensive midfielder.
Vera has been an important player for the Brazilian club, and they will not want to lose him cheaply. Fulham might have to pay a premium for him this summer. The Argentine midfielder has a contract with the Brazilian club until the summer of 2026. So it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Fulham will look to improve on their performances from last season, and they need to bring in the right reinforcements. The midfield could clearly use an injection of quality and Vera would be a superb long-term acquisition.
The 23-year-old has attributes to develop into a quality Premier League midfielder, and he could prove to be a solid, long-term investment for the London club. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be hard to turn down for the 23-year-old as well.
He might feel that regular football in the Premier League could help him hold down a regular starting spot for his country in the coming seasons. Meanwhile, Fulham midfielder Joao Palhinha has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. So it remains to be seen whether Vera is being considered as his replacement.
The Portuguese international has been linked with a number of top Premier League clubs after his impressive performances for Fulham last season. On the other hand, Vera is a prodigious young talent with a high ceiling, and he could excel in the Premier League in the coming seasons.
Fulham certainly have the financial resources to tempt Corinthians into selling their prized prospect. And it will be interesting to see if the two clubs can come to an agreement soon. The 23-year-old has three international caps to his name with Argentina, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for club and country in the coming seasons.
It will be interesting to see if he can hit the ground running in the Premier League, should the move to Fulham go through. Meanwhile, the Cottagers are looking to strengthen other positions, with recent reports linking them with Demarai Gray.
