Club director has called entourage of Fulham striker – Player seems keen on move in January

Brazilian side Palmeiras are reportedly moving for the signing of Fulham striker Carlos Vinícius.

According to journalist Jorge Nicola, the Verdão had previously been interested in the centre-forward and now ‘reopened’ talks to get him.

It’s said that Palmeiras director Anderson Barros had a phone call with the Carlos Vinícius’ representatives to understand his situation at Fulham.

The striker only has 308 minutes played for the Craven Cottage this season, with two goals scored so far.

Back at the start of last week, the very same Jorge Nicola had already brought the information that the Whites are interested in the signing of Pedro from Flamengo.

In case that transfer goes through, then Carlos Vinícius would have even less importance in Fulham’s squad, and that’s something that Palmeiras are monitoring, as that could turn into a big opportunity for them in the winter market.

The Brazilian club are said to be following the striker for at least three windows, and this could be the right time to get him signed.

According to Nicola, the player sees a return to Brazil ‘with good eyes’, as he believes that doing well in his home country could result in a call-up to the national team.
