Exclusive: Atalanta deadline nears for Fulham’s Muniz; Krstovic the alternative | OneFootball

Atalanta still have to wait for Fulham forward Rodrigo Muniz.

Until tomorrow? Maybe a few hours more, at most until Wednesday. After that, La Dea will move on to another striker.

A few days ago, we revealed that Nikola Krstovic (whom we already placed on Atalanta’s list back in July) of Lecce is one to watch very closely, without overlooking Arokodare.

However, with Krstovic, there have already been contacts between Atalanta and the Salento club and a deal could be closed quickly if Fulham continue to drag things out over Muniz.

Just a few more hours… and then we will know.

Rodrigo Muniz – Atalanta target in numbers

Rodrigo Muniz signed for Fulham in 2021 from Brazilian club Flamengo for a reported fee of €8 million. Since then, the Brazilian has 27 goals in 98 games in all competitions for the West London club.

Last season, the 24-year-old scored eight Premier League goals for Fulham and scored a last-gasp equaliser for the club against Brighton in their 2025-26 season opener at the weekend.
