Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz would be open to joining Leeds United this summer, TBR Football can reveal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds<\/a> are currently searching for a new striker for the Premier League and Fulham\u2019s Rodrigo Muniz<\/a> has been towards the top of the club\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

Following Leeds\u2019 pre-season friendly against Manchester United, Daniel Farke confirmed that Patrick Bamford was free to leave the club.<\/p>\n

Lukas Nmecha looked promising in that 0-0 draw with Ruben Amorim\u2019s side, and Joel Piroe proved that he will still be a viable option in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

But Leeds recognise that they need a new goalscorer, and Muniz has proved his ability to score in the top flight at Craven Cottage over the last 18 months or so.<\/p>\n

Rodrigo Muniz is happy at Fulham but could be tempted by Leeds<\/p>\n

That being said, TBR Football chief<\/strong> correspondent Graeme Bailey<\/strong> understands that a move to Elland Road would appeal to Muniz this summer.<\/p>\n

On their part, Fulham<\/a> maintain that they are not looking to sell and they are in talks over a new deal with the Brazilian striker.<\/p>\n

Fulham are confident that they will come to an agreement with Muniz\u2019s camp in the near future, a striker who has scored 26 goals in 97 games in west London.<\/p>\n

Fulham don\u2019t need to sell Muniz either, given that he has an option in his current deal which could take his contract until 2027.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old has come on leaps and bounds over the past two seasons, explaining why Leeds are so interested in the Brazilian\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

In terms of Muniz\u2019s stance, he is somewhat open towards his future \u2014 he would like to stay at Fulham but that depends on a new deal.<\/p>\n

Muniz is also aware of Leeds\u2019 interest and a move could tempt the former Flamengo man, who scored eight Premier League goals last term.<\/p>\n

Leeds want to sign a striker before selling Mateo Joseph<\/p>\n

In addition to Nmecha and Piroe, Leeds have a crowded striker department with Mateo Joseph and young Harry Gray hoping for chances too.<\/p>\n

TBR Football<\/strong> previously revealed that Joseph is ready to leave Leeds<\/a> this summer, and that still is the situation.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s not a case of Leeds needing to sell Joseph in order to buy a new striker \u2014 Farke\u2019s side want to have a new number nine in before letting the Spaniard go.<\/p>\n

Joseph\u2019s sale would generate a significant amount of PSR headroom if he was sold for the right price.<\/p>\n

But Leeds are reluctant to leave themselves short up top, even if they might have plans to pursue Muniz further. <\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s worth mentioning that Fulham might want up to \u00a350m<\/a> for Muniz this summer according to reports elsewhere, a very high fee for a striker who is still developing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz would be open to joining Leeds United this summer, TBR Football can reveal.
