Flamengo to try to sign Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz? We checked!

Leonardo Jardim asked for the signing of a center-forward to rotate with Pedro

One of Flamengo’s goals in the transfer window is to sign a center-forward. As a result, the name of Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz (ENG) started being mentioned. However, reporter Léo José, from Coluna do Fla, found out that the Most Beloved has not made any kind of approach.

So, for now, bringing back the Ninho do Urubu academy product is not in Rubro-Negro’s plans. The 25-year-old player has a contract until 2030, with the English club holding an option to extend it for one more year.

So, who does Flamengo intend to sign?

Despite not having approached Rodrigo Muniz, Mengo still has not defined a target in the market to pursue. So, the center-forwards currently in Leonardo Jardim’s squad are still Pedro and Wallace Yan.

How is Rodrigo Muniz doing at Fulham?

The player developed by Flamengo is heading into his fifth season in the Premier League, considered the most competitive league on the planet. So far, Muniz has 27 goals and four assists in 127 matches for the English side.

As a result, the player is valued at around 20 million euros (R$ 166.8 million) in the transfer market. The academy product’s salary at Fulham is around 3.9 million pounds per year (approximately R$ 28 million), which comes to R$ 2.3 million per month.

How did Rodrigo Muniz perform at Flamengo?

The striker stood out in Flamengo’s youth ranks. Then, the youngster got and seized his opportunity with the first team in 2020. The following season, Mengo earned 8 million euros (around R$ 50 million at the exchange rate at the time) from the sale of the top scorer.

So, the player recorded ten goals and one assist in 32 matches wearing the Sacred Shirt. Mengão’s academy graduate can also say he was a Brazilian champion in 2020 with the Most Beloved.

What is the author’s opinion on Rodrigo Muniz?

In fact, it was hard to believe the speculation. It can’t be easy at all to break a contract with Fulham. Besides, Muniz renewed last year to stay until 2030, and I think he is right to stay in Europe,” said João Vítor Reis, from Coluna do Fla, who added: At some point, the return to Ninho do Urubu will happen. But I hope that before then the striker manages to play for a team that competes in, for example, the Champions League. So far, Fulham has only given him the English second-division title,” he opined.
