Atalanta’s El Bilal Touré has ended up on Fulham’s agenda for the summer window, according to a report from France.
Last summer, the striker joined the Serie A side from UD Almería, and he finished his debut season in Italy with three goals and an assist from 478 minutes of action from 17 games.
The 22-year-old’s game time was reduced since he missed the first half of the last season due to an injury. His deal lasts until 2027, with an option for another year, but his future could be away from La Dea.
That’s according to L’Equipe, who say El Bilal Touré ‘could leave’ the Italian club for Marco Silva’s side.
It’s claimed Fulham are ‘considering formulating an offer’ to sign the player on a loan deal with a purchase option. The Premier League side are ‘moving forward’ with this formula to try and secure his services.
The Europa League winners invested €29m to buy the Mali international, and they would have to make a difficult decision if Marco Silva’s side were to make a loan with a buy option to sign him.
