Leeds United’s top target to strengthen up front appears to be Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz, but they aren’t the only club appreciating the Brazilian’s talents.

Just two weeks remain between now and the start of Leeds’ Premier League campaign at home to Everton in front of the cameras.

So far, Daniel Farke has seven fresh faces added to his squad, but went on the record to state his insistence for new attacking signings soon.

Leeds United still keen on Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz amidst Daniel Farke frustration

Farke’s comments after a 1-1 draw against La Liga’s Villarreal depicted a manager knowing time is wearing thin before his side’s survival bid gets underway, in particular how his attack is currently shaping up.

Rodrigo Muniz of Fulham is the club’s priority target in attack, after an opening £32million bid was rejected back in June, with little movement on the matter since.

Sky Sports share that the Whites remain keen on the Cottagers forward, but that Marco Silva’s side have “no intention” of letting Muniz leave this summer.

Muniz, 24, is in the final year of his contract, but Fulham hold the option to extend by a further year, effectively meaning he has two years on his deal as things stand.

Atalanta enter race for Rodrigo Muniz after £56m Mateo Retegui exit

Leeds aren’t the only side that are admirers of Muniz’s talents, having scored 17 across his previous two Premier League campaigns.

The same update from Sky reveals that Serie A side Atalanta are also interested in signing Muniz, having lost star striker Mateo Retegui to Saudi Arabian side Al Qadsiah earlier this window.

Atalanta are armed with £56million from Retegui’s exit, are actively hunting for their replacement, and therefore could bankroll a move to prise Muniz out of Craven Cottage as a result.

Worrying Igor Paixao repeat could ensue as Leeds United chase Rodrigo Muniz

Leeds thought they had a real chance of signing Igor Paixao from Feyenoord, only for Marseille’s offer of Champions League football to beat them to the punch.

The same situation could easily unfold here with Muniz, who now has not only Leeds on his tail, but also Atalanta with Champions League football to offer too.

Of course, the third aspect of this is that Fulham are not wanting to sell and therefore will need a huge bid to consider letting him leave, which ups the price.

If Leeds mean business in staying up, a striker of Muniz’s calibre would be some statement to make.
