Rodrigo Muniz was linked with a summer move away from Fulham, but the Cottagers now want to tie him to a new contract.
Rodrigo Muniz was heavily linked with a move to Italy in the summer transfer window, but the transfer did not go through. According to a report by Give Me Sport, Fulham will now open contract talks with the striker, and it remains to be seen whether the two parties can agree on a new deal.
Muniz did quite well in the Premier League last season, and he was linked with multiple clubs. The striker was valued at £43 million by Fulham. However, no club was willing to pay up for him this summer. It will be interesting to see if he decides to commit his long-term future to the club. A new contract would mean that Fulham will be able to raise his asking price. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Can Fulham convince Muniz?
There is no doubt that Rodrigo Muniz is a quality player with a bright future. He could be an asset for Fulham in the long run. Keeping the Brazilian at the club should be one of their priorities. They are looking to build a team capable of fighting for a top-half finish, and they need players like him.
The 24-year-old is undoubtedly the best striker at the club right now, and the fans will be delighted that the club have managed to hold on to him. Muniz is still quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top-class player with the right guidance.
Given his performances last season, it is no surprise that Fulham want to offer him a new deal. They are prepared to give him a big pay rise as well. The striker has thoroughly deserved it, and it will be interesting to see if he is ready to put pen to paper on a new deal.
Fulham will be looking to establish themselves as a solid Premier League team, and they need to keep their best players. Keeping Muniz at the club should be a top priority for the Cottagers, and they must do everything in their power to convince the striker to sign the new contract with them.
