Fulham have firmly rejected a £32 million offer from newly-promoted Leeds United for their in-form striker Rodrigo Muniz, according to a report by HammyEnd.com. The bid, which included £26 million up front and an additional £6 million in performance-related add-ons, was swiftly dismissed by the London club.
Reliable sources within Fulham have confirmed that the club has no intention of parting ways with the 23-year-old Brazilian, who enjoyed a breakthrough season in the Premier League. Muniz scored 11 goals in 32 appearances last season, finally cementing his place in the starting XI after a prolonged spell as second-choice behind Raul Jimenez.
Despite previously attracting interest from West Ham United in the January transfer window, Fulham have remained resolute in their stance. Club insiders indicate that they would only begin considering offers in the region of £50 million or more for Muniz — a signal of how highly they now value the former Flamengo forward.
Contract Talks on the Horizon
Rather than entertaining transfer offers, Fulham are now set to open negotiations with Muniz’s representatives over a new long-term contract, rewarding the striker’s development and growing influence. This proactive move demonstrates the club’s ambition to build around a youthful core and maintain Premier League stability.
Muniz has been with the club since 2021, and though his early years at Craven Cottage were marked by inconsistency and loan spells, his recent performances have changed his narrative. In total, he has netted 26 goals in 97 appearances for the club — but 11 of those came last season, showing a clear upward trajectory in both form and confidence.
Leeds Eye Statement Signing
For Leeds United, the bid was intended as a statement of intent following their return to the Premier League. With their attack needing reinforcement, Muniz was seen as an ideal target — young, Premier League-proven, and still improving. However, Fulham’s quick rejection sends a strong message that they are no longer a selling club for cheap.
The West Yorkshire side will now be forced to look elsewhere for firepower, as Fulham look to secure the future of a striker who could yet become their next marquee name.
