Even though Rodrigo Muniz is already signed and has been presented by Fulham, we continue to get interesting claims from the Brazilian media about the transfer.
Journalist Venê Casagrande, who was on the money when reporting the Whites’ battle to sign the striker, now has some information on the shirt number used by the player.
Rodrigo Muniz has already taken the #19, but according to the claims, he requested another one.
It’s said the Brazilian initially wanted number 9, which is already taken by Aleksandar Mitrovic. He asked for 99, and was told by Fulham that he couldn’t take any number over 50, so he went for the 19.
Rodrigo Muniz reportedly joined Fulham in a deal worth €8m, while Flamengo will keep 25% of a future sale. The Brazilian media repeatedly claimed Middlesbrough were also in the race for his signing, but his contacts with Marco Silva were crucial for the player to push for a move to Craven Cottage.
