On Monday, Viola News reported Fulham are still chasing Igor Julio despite earlier claims suggesting the Premier League side are unwilling to meet Fiorentina’s high demands to sign him.
It was also stated the 25-year-old has made it known through intermediaries about his desire to leave the Serie A side in the summer window.
TuttoMercatoWeb have a report explaining the efforts put in by Fulham to secure the defender’s services.
It’s claimed new contacts are expected between Fulham and the Italian club in the ‘next few hours’, to kickstart the negotiations on ‘more concrete’ terms.
The report states Fulham are ‘ready to raise’ the offer for Igor, who has a deal expiring in 2024. Although the player wants to leave his current employer in this window, TMW add there’s ‘still a long way to go’ for him to get a move.
Fulham must be wary about Villarreal, who are in the background but haven’t yet taken any concrete steps to sign Igor.
