Sporting’s Rúben Vinagre has ended up on Fulham and Nottingham Forest’s radar, according to claims from Portugal.
The left wing-back, who can also operate as a left-back, has seen his game time restricted with the Lions. He managed 18 appearances in all competitions last season, out of which 12 of came in the league, where he played for 545 minutes.
Fulham and Nottingham Forest, along with Fenerbahçe, have ‘already shown interest’ in signing the 23-year-old this summer.
That’s according to Record, who explain the player is studying the first offer he received to play at a new club next season. Having struggled for game time, he is aware of the need to get more minutes in order to regularly evolve.
Fulham and Nottingham Forest have carried polls, while the Turkish club have looked at the possibility to take the Portuguese fullback on a loan deal. He has experience of playing in the Premier League from his time at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
At the same time, Record state the possibility to make a switch to Fenerbahçe cannot be ruled out. They will play in the Champions League, unlike the Cottagers and Steve Cooper’s side.
Fulham and Nottingham Forest have already been in talks with Sporting for João Palhinha and Islam Slimani respectively.
