Rodrigo Muniz, a striker for Fulham, has drawn attention from Queens Park Rangers and Bristol City, as reported by Darren Witcoop
of the Sunday Mirror.
Muniz has drawn interest since the market opened because he has had difficulty securing a starting position at Fulham this season.
The London club has been contacted by QPR and the Robins about the player’s availability.
There are other parties interested besides the two championship clubs. Muniz, who first played for Cortiba and Flamengo before
Joining Fulham has also attracted interest back in Brazil.
This season, Marco Silva has had difficulty getting the 22-year-old into the starting lineup. In the Premier League, he has only started
three games; most of his playing time has been in cup competitions. His lone goal of the season came in the EFL Cup, during Fulham’s
victory against Ipswich Town in the fourth round. Muniz didn’t appear against Liverpool yesterday night,, despite being selected in the
squad.
The Hoops have lost three of their previous five games and are now experiencing a terrible run of luck. With just 21 goals, they have
the joint-lowest goal total in the championship. They need a striker like Muniz to enter the game and turn around their goal-scoring
situation.
The Robins, who are middling in the rankings, are in a different predicament. Nevertheless, the Brazilian’s arrival could aid in closing
the four-point deficit that now exists between them and Sunderland in sixth place in the play-off rankings.
Although Muniz spent a season on loan in the Championship, he was unable to have a significant effect at Middlesbrough. When he
was in Michael Carrick’s team, the former Cortiba player scored two goals in 17 games, and his market value
There’s also an interesting topic from Brazil. Last week, Brazilian publication Ge Globo revealed that Atletico Mineiro expressed
interest in Muniz; however, Fulham rejected their offers. The striker was unlikely to leave Europe, according to the source, which
increased the likelihood of him joining one of the championship clubs who were interested.
Muniz could choose signing with Bristol City because QPR is struggling for relegation. With four points to spare from safety, Gareth
Ainsworth’s team has not shown any signs of improving on their performance from the first half of the season. If the struggle to recruit
the player continues, Liam Manning’s team may feel confident because they still have a chance to win the
Although Muniz hasn’t yet found his best at Fulham, he has shown in Brazil that he is a useful member of a team. When it comes to
By signing him, Bristol City probably has the advantage, but if QPR can land the Brazilian, it may drastically change their season.
It is doubtful that Muniz would relocate to Brazil; thus, one of the championship teams must seize this January’s chance to sign him.
