Leeds United submitted a club record attempt to sign a “revelation”, and the 49ers quickly received an answer, according to a report.
Leeds intensifies the pursuit attacker
The whites and the 49ers Enterprises have not yet called on a proven first league attacker before the new campaign, and since not doing so could have a major impact on their chances of survival next season, they have now intensified their pursuit.
Discussions recently took place for an agreement for the former Everton striker, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has 89 career goals in his name, and the whites now seem to end on the center-center, subject to a medical, as David Ornstein revealed on X.
“Leeds United donates the agreement in principle to sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin. 28 years old agent after the expiration of the Everton contract. England International provided for Thorp Arch to make medicine before completing the transfer of LUFC.”
However, Calvert-Lewin was not the highest target of Daniel Farke’s team, journalist Ben Jacobs declaring that Rodrigo Muniz de Fulham was at the top of their limited list.
The former man of Everton was considered a rescue option for Rodrigo Muniz, and a recent update on the pursuit of Leeds of the Fulham striker suggests that they made an proposal before sealing an agreement for Calvert-Lewin, following an intimate offer of 32 million pounds Sterling in June.
According to a report by Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness), the whites submitted a new offer of around 40 million euros (34.5 million pounds Sterling) for Muniz, which was then overthrown.
The record signature of Leeds is Georginio Rutter, which cost 35.5 million pounds sterling, and they were ready to spend a similar amount on the central center of Fulham, but it now seems that he could be on the way to Atalanta.
Leeds at the risk of missing muniz
Taking at X, Fabrizio Romano has since revealed that ATALANTA has been progressing in their pursuit of the Brazilian, who would like to join the side of Serie A.
“Atalanta is confident for Rodrigo Muniz to hear with Fulham while the discussions are advancing. Muniz, eager to go to Serie A with current negotiations.”
As such, Leeds now seems ready to miss an agreement, which is probably disappointing, because there are many signs that the Fulham star could have been a better signature than Calvert-Lewin.
Not only is the former Flamengo man much younger than English at 24, but he has also outlined it in the last two Premier League campaigns, scoring 17 combined goals, while Calvert-Lewin has only ten in his name.
Once described as a “revelation” by the scout of Jacek Kulig football talents, Muniz has the capacity to dismiss Leeds safe, it is therefore a bet to have prosecuted the ex-Everton, taking into account his uneven injury file.
