According to Sacha Tavolieri, Fulham have rejected Atalanta’s €40m (£34m/$46m) bid for Muniz, valuing him at €50m (£43m/$58m). The striker is eager to join the الدوري الإيطالي side and has asked Fulham to let him leave this summer.
After selling last season’s Serie A top scorer Mateo Retegui to Al-Qadsiah for €80m (£68m/$92m), Atalanta are seeking a new star striker. They considered كريستال بالاس‘s Jean-Philippe Mateta, who has one year left on his contract, but failed to agree on a fee. CEO Luca Percassi travelled to London to negotiate with Fulham for Muniz, though Atalanta face strong competition fromLeeds متحد, who are also keen on the striker.
Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman has refused to train as he is on strike as he pushes to move to انتر, who have seen their efforts to sign him knocked back by the Bergamo club.
Atalanta will aim to negotiate with Fulham to lower the asking price, hoping to leverage Muniz’s desire to move to Bergamo for the chance to play European football next season.
