According to a report by Football Insider, Rodrigo Muniz is the subject of interest from Leeds United. The Whites are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit in the summer transfer window by signing a striker. So, the 24-year-old Fulham centre-forward has emerged as a target for the newly promoted Premier League club.
However, the 2024/25 EFL Championship winners have already failed with a bid to sign the South American attacker, after offering Fulham a base fee of £26 million and £6 million in add-ons. Meanwhile, the Cottagers want to keep Muniz at the West London club and are optimistic that he will remain at Craven Cottage beyond the summer transfer window.
Rodrigo Muniz has been one of the most promising young strikers in the Premier League in the last few years. The 24-year-old has been with Fulham since August 2021 but did not enjoy his breakthrough at the West London club until the 2023/24 season. However, he was in and out of the starting lineup last term.
Raul Jimenez was the first-choice striker for Fulham, and Muniz did not even manage 1,500 minutes of game time across 36 appearances in all competitions. However, he contributed to 13 goals by finding the back of the net 11 times and providing two assists. Meanwhile, the Brazilian striker’s stock in the market is high among the Premier League clubs.
Recent reports have linked Rodrigo Muniz with Chelsea and Tottenham, with Fulham hoping to keep him at Craven Cottage. However, Leeds United will aim to beat the competition to his signature in the summer transfer window, with the Whites eager to bolster their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window.
Leeds United’s interest in the Fulham striker is understandable. While Joel Piroe was excellent in the 2024/25 season, Daniel Farke wants more firepower in the final third to sustain the challenge of remaining in the Premier League. However, convincing Fulham to part ways with Muniz will be a tall order.
The Whites have already failed with a bid to sign the 24-year-old Brazilian striker from Fulham, and they may soon present an improved offer. However, the Cottagers are confident about keeping Muniz at Craven Cottage beyond the summer transfer window, and they want to price Leeds United out of a move.
