Fulham and Bournemouth have ‘entered the race’ for signing – PL duo ready to make €10-12m offer

Fulham and AFC Bournemouth have joined the chase to sign Atalanta’s Joakim Mæhle, according to reports from Italy.

The Denmark international’s form for his country and club has resulted in an interest from Vfl Wolfsburg, who have made a concrete move to secure his services. That’s according to Tutto Atalanta and Gianluca Di Marzio.

Both reports state the German club have made a €8m bid and it was rejected by the Serie A side. Wolfsburg will now have to battle it out with Fulham and Bournemouth as these two clubs have ‘entered the race’ for the 26-year-old.

They explain that Marco Silva’s side and the Cherries are both ready to offer a fee around €10-12m for the wing-back, who can operate on both sides.

Mæhle joined Atalanta from Genk in 2021 and Gian Piero Gasperini sees him as a valuable player in the squad, also because of his versatility.

The Dane’s deal expires in 2025, and both Tutto Atalanta and Gianluca Di Marzio question what would Atalanta’s reaction be if Fulham and/or Bournemouth were to table a €10-12m bid.

Mæhle managed three goals and three assists from 36 games last season.
