According to British media givemesport, Atlanta will give up negotiations if Fulham continues to refuse concessions to the valuation of 24-year-old striker Munis.
Atlanta is interested in Munis, Fulham coach Marco Silva has always been eager to retain regular starters, and club executives also avoid losing the forward player before closing the window. According to GMS sources, Fulham received a 48-hour ultimatum asking it to lower Munis’ asking price by 50 million pounds, and Atlanta warned that if there is no indication that Fulham is willing to lower its valuation of Munis, they will turn their attention to other targets.
According to GMS sources, Munis performed well last season and Fulham has been waiting for a generous transfer fee. So if the deal structure is perfect and Silva has the opportunity to introduce a replacement, the minimum transfer fee Fulham is willing to accept is £43 million. Atlanta plans to hold further consultations with Fulham on signing Munis, but they are cautious and ready to focus on other options.
Sources learned that Fulham has informed Munis that they will allow him to accept new challenges only if he receives a quote that is considered acceptable, and that the player himself is not actively seeking a transfer. Atlanta is trying to make a breakthrough in Munis' negotiations, with players listed as the top target, but they will stop chasing if Fulham continues to insist on not accepting a £35m offer.
Munis is 24 years old, and the Brazilian striker's contract has entered its last 12 months, which has made interested teams want to bring him in before closing the window, but Fulham has made it clear that they are more inclined to keep Munis and sign a new contract. According to GMS sources, Fulham has arranged negotiations to try to assess whether Atlanta is willing to change its position and increase Munis' valuation.
