🚨🗣️ Leeds has just received an update from full Ham’s on the transfer of Rodrigo muniz which has been a shoke to the internet 🚨🚨

Leeds United have tried already with a bid to sign Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz this summer, but the Cottagers are not in any mood to let him go.

Joel Piroe helped shoot Leeds to the Premier League with 19 goals, seven assists and the Championship golden boot, but he isn’t likely to be the man that leads the line for most of next season.

That’s because Leeds have already made their feelings clear on signing a new striker, lodging a bid for a Premier League rival.

Leeds United’s pursuit of Rodrigo Muniz, a £32m-rated striker, has hit a roadblock. The Whites had their initial bid of £26m plus £6m in add-ons rejected by Fulham. According to sources, Fulham is confident of keeping Muniz at Craven Cottage and is waiting for an offer of around £40m to let him leave.

*Muniz’s Current Situation*

– Muniz has scored 11 goals and registered two assists in 36 appearances for Fulham last season.

– He is under contract until June 2026, with Fulham having the option to extend his deal by one year.

– Muniz has played 57 times in the Premier League, scoring 17 goals.

*Leeds United’s Next Move*

Leeds United are planning to launch an improved offer for Muniz, potentially testing Fulham’s resolve. However, the Whites are reportedly unwilling to go as high as £40m, with a maximum bid of £35m considered feasible. The potential signing of Muniz is crucial for Leeds United, as they seek to strengthen their attacking lineup following promotion.

*Competition and Alternatives*

Other clubs, including Tottenham and Chelsea, have shown interest in Muniz, highlighting his value as a world-class finisher. Meanwhile, Leeds United has been exploring other options, including¹ ² ³:

– *Sean Longstaff*: Leeds United has reportedly been told that Newcastle will accept a £10m offer for the midfielder.

– *Jaka Bijol*: Leeds United is set to sign the Udinese and Slovenia defender, with a medical scheduled.

– *Lukas Nmecha*: The Germany international has penned a two-year deal with Leeds United, starting July 1.

*Challenges Ahead*

Leeds United faces challenges in securing Muniz’s signature, primarily due to Fulham’s valuation and the player’s contract situation. If Leeds United fails to secure Muniz, they may need to consider alternative targets to strengthen their squad. With the transfer window in full swing, the next few weeks will be crucial in determining Leeds United’s summer recruitment strategy.
