The Brazilian media today reveals Fulham’s interest in Corinthians midfielder Fausto Vera.
The information comes from journalist Jorge Nicola, who says the Whites are one of the clubs who made an approach for the player.
With not much information, it’s said Sporting, Fulham and Fiorentina are the club who have made contact for the signing, and the minimum price to get him from Corinthians this summer is €10m.
The most interesting thing about this story is that it’s mainly about Sporting’s chase for a new midfielder. It’s claimed that their priority is Fluminense star André, and in case they can’t get him, then they’ll turn their attentions to Vera.
An interesting aspect is that before these rumours about Vera, Fulham were one of the clubs linked to André. Back in January, it had even been claimed by the Brazilian media that the Whites made an offer for the player and struggled to take him away from the Rio de Janeiro side.
So perhaps after finding the same difficulty as Sporting, Marco Silva’s side also moved for the same alternative.
