Spanish side Las Palmas are eyeing up a move for Fulham striker Carlos Vinicius as they look to tweak manager García Pimienta’s squad.
That’s according to Estadio Deportivo, who say the player is on Las Palmas’ list of options they’re looking at to replace Munir El Haddadi as he’s set to depart.
They explain that Munir is set to move to Saudi Arabia and when he does so, it will leave his club needing to enter the window to find a replacement.
The sports management at Las Palmas, led by Luis Helguera, are assessing their options but are ‘thinking about’ Fulham’s Carlos Vinicius in particular.
The idea is to sell Munir for around €8m before then using that money to approach Fulham over their striker, who is considered an ‘eternal promise’ yet to flourish in the Premier League.
He’s only featured in six league games this season with one goal against Luton to his name and Las Palmas believe that could give them their chance to get their man.
According to Estadio Fulham value Vinicius as €6m, a figure that Las Palmas could manage without difficulty and even more so with the departure of Munir.
The first movements for the transfer have already occurred, hinting talks may already be on behind the scenes, and this is a situation which may pick up pace in the coming weeks.
