Fulham paid a significant amount to sign Kevin in the summer of 2025. But he hasn’t quite impressed in England and this can lead to a January exit.
Shakhtar Donetsk earned €40m from the Brazilian departure and the deal was seen as a major one for the London club. The winger played a little over 1000 minutes in the Premier League last season but never cemented his place in the side.
Things haven’t changed this season either, as Kevin has played less than 90 minutes, even if he has featured five times in the Premier League.
This has now attracted attention in Italy, where AS Roma are growing interested.
Loan move possible
Today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport states the Giallorossi will add an attacker to their ranks in January. Endrick is their priority and interest stretches back to the summer. But a deal is likely to be complex, with AC Milan also in the hunt and Real Madrid yet to make a decision over his exit.
This has made them consider an alternative and Fulham’s Kevin has become a possible target.
Sporting director Tony D’Amico is keeping an eye on the Brazilian and how his game time has faded since last season.
Gian Piero Gasperini has been a fan of the player since his time in Ukraine. Those around the attacker can also look for options in January, as Kevin hope for more game time.
Roma see this as a chance to test the waters with a loan deal, knowing that the London club can execute an exit.
Move can unlock player
Fulham probably know the player doesn’t have a future in London. But since they paid a big amount for Kevin, they would want to retain his value as much as they can.
Roma can help them achieve that, as they did the same with Donyell Malen. The attacker has thrived in the Italian capital. He has gone from being an under performer to someone who has become one of the most feared strikers in Europe.
Gasperini’s system does that to players, as it did the same for Ademola Lookman in the past.
The Fulham man needs something like that and a transfer will make a lot of sense.
