Fulham have reached an agreement with Benfica for the transfer of Carlos Vinícius, as per multiple claims coming out of Portugal.
Last summer, the Primeira Liga side allowed the forward join PSV Eindhoven on a two-year loan deal with an option to buy. A Bola claim his stay in the Netherlands will be cut short so that he can head to the English club.
It’s claimed Fulham will pay €5m to the Eagles, with the latter set to receive 50% of a fee from the Brazilian’s future sale.
A Bola’s report is backed up by Record, who add the overall cost of the operation could rise to €11m if bonuses are included. These two claims are echoed by journalist Pedro Sepúlveda.
Sepúlveda took to Twitter to say there is a ‘total agreement’ between Marco Silva’s side and Benfica for the South American’s sale. The journalist states Carlos Vinícius ‘travels to London’ on Thursday to seal his move to Fulham.

Silva and co will add an attacker to their squad who has the experience of playing in the Premier League as Carlos Vinícius had a spell on loan at Tottenham Hotspur during the 2020/21 season.
