Atlético Mineiro’s chase for Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz has just become a lot more difficult, according to reports from Brazil.
Journalist Thiago Fernandes comes up on YouTube to say that the Whites have increased their request for the striker’s transfer.
It’s said Fulham now demand €8m for the move, and Atlético consider that price to be too high.
According to Fernandes, the Belo Horizonte club are now only moving for the signing in case the Whites considerably drop their request.
It’s claimed that Grêmio also got interested in Muniz and made an approach last summer, but at this time, it’s really only Atlético Mineiro who are trying his signing.
Featuring for Fulham this season, Muniz has one goal in eight appearances, and has mostly been used as a back-up option, but has recently been out of the side with a knee injury.
Recent reports from Brazil had claimed that the player was Atlético Mineiro’s ‘Plan A’ for the 2024 season, but it now seems like the request made by the Craven Cottage side was like a bucket of cold water on their efforts to get him.
