Tottenham eye Premier League striker who earns just £7,500-per-week after contract talks stall
Tottenham Hotspur have now been alerted about the availability of a Premier League forward who pockets £7,500 per week, amid uncertainty over contract talks.
Rumours have it that Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a striker this summer, with reports linking them with a move for Yoane Wissa.
It is understood that the Brentford man is keen on having a taste of UEFA Champions League football, and with Tottenham able to offer him that, it remains to be seen whether a move would be completed.
Spurs’ interest in a forward has now seen a Premier League player offer himself to them, following an uncertainty around his contract situation.
Tottenham alerted to Rodrigo Muniz’s availability amid Fulham contract talks
This report comes from TBR Football, who state that intermediaries of Fulham forward Muniz have had contact with a host of clubs in recent weeks, circulating his name as a possible option.
It is claimed that Tottenham are one of the clubs to have been informed of Rodrigo Muniz’s situation, which comes as no surprise given reports that the Lilywhites are actively searching for a striker.
Newcastle United and Aston Villa have also been contacted by the Brazilian’s representatives, while Leeds United are reported to maintain a long-standing interest in the player.
“Fulham have been talking to Muniz about a new deal since April, but nothing has been agreed,” journalist Graeme Bailey told TBR Football.
“His people fully believe he is worthy of fresh terms and whilst they are not done, it is no shock that other clubs are being made aware of his potential availability.”
Spurs weighing options as Muniz price tag emerges
While the player’s representatives appear to be working on a potential exit, it is understood that Fulham are also keen to extend Rodrigo Muniz’s stay at Craven Cottage.
The striker’s current deal is set to expire next summer, although Fulham hold an option to extend for a further year; however, talks are ongoing over a longer-term extension beyond 2027.
We reported a few weeks back that Muniz’s relatively modest wages could be music to the ears of Daniel Levy, as the forward currently pockets £7,500 per week.
However, it remains to be seen whether his camp is genuinely exploring new opportunities or simply using the situation as leverage for improved terms, especially as reports suggest Fulham have placed a £50 million price tag on Muniz.
