Atalanta remain confident they can reach an agreement with Fulham for centre-forward Rodrigo Muniz as they search for a replacement for Mateo Retegui. The Serie A club see Muniz as a realistic option this transfer window and have identified him among several profiles under consideration.<\/p>\n
Retegui left Bergamo after one year to join Al-Qadsiah in a \u20ac65m deal, a transfer described as the most expensive sale from Serie A this year. La Dea have examined a number of alternatives, including Crystal Palace\u2019s Jean-Philippe Mateta, while continuing to pursue a solution that addresses their attacking needs.<\/p>\n
Reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport state that Muniz asked not to be involved in Fulham\u2019s 1-0 pre-season friendly victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday. The newspaper suggests that decision is a positive indicator for Atalanta. Sources add that Muniz still trained in the morning with the rest of his teammates but did not go on to feature in the test match at Craven Cottage.<\/p>\n
Fulham are reportedly valuing the 24-year-old in the region of \u20ac45m. Atalanta believe there could be scope to negotiate and have indicated that a deal might be possible for an offer of \u20ac40m plus bonuses. The situation remains subject to discussions between the clubs and to any formal approach that may be made.<\/p>\n
For Atalanta, replacing Retegui is a priority this summer and the club are weighing options carefully. The reports suggest they view Muniz as a viable candidate and are working to determine whether terms can be agreed that satisfy both clubs. Any move will depend on continued talks and final agreement on transfer structure and add-ons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
