Serie A outfit Atalanta are reportedly interested in signing Rodrigo Muniz from Premier League club Fulham in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Atalanta have given Fulham a deadline to lower their demands for Rodrigo Muniz. The Brazilian striker is reportedly valued at £50 million, and it will be interesting to see if Fulham are willing to be more reasonable with their demands.
Muniz has been an exceptional acquisition for them, and it is unlikely that they will let him leave easily. Therefore, Atalanta will probably have to pay up to get the deal done. It is unlikely that Fulham are pushing to get rid of the player, and therefore, the ultimatum to reduce their demands is unlikely to have much of an impact.
Fulham will be hoping to have an impressive campaign in the Premier League, and they need quality players at their disposal. Keeping their best attacker at the club will be a huge boost for them. It will be interesting to see what the player decides. The opportunity to move to Italy could be exciting for him. It remains to be seen whether he decides to force an exit before the window closes.
Atalanta have a quality squad, and they have done well to nurture talented players in recent years. They will be able to help the Brazilian attacker develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential. However, regular football in the Premier League could help him progress as well. It remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Fulham need to keep Rodrigo Muniz
Fulham need to hold on to their best players if they want to push for a place in the top half this season. Muniz is well‑settled in the Premier League, and he has performed consistently. Losing him would be a blow for the West London club. The fans will certainly hope that they can hold on to their best players beyond this summer.
The South American striker has been linked with other clubs as well. It remains to be seen whether any other party is willing to come forward with an offer to sign him. Muniz is relatively young, and he could improve further. He has all the tools to develop into a top‑class player with the right guidance. Even though the £50 million valuation might seem expensive right now, the player could end up justifying the outlay in the future.
