Muniz’s form at Fulham

Despite being under contract at Craven Cottage until 2026, Muniz could be set for a move due to the keen interest from top English clubs.

He has made a significant impact in the latter part of the Premier League season, notably scoring 8 goals in 8 games, bringing his total to 10 goals in 33 appearances across all competitions.

Fulham’s valuation of Muniz has increased in line with his impressive performances. The club is now seeking between €30 million and €40 million for the highly sought-after talent.

It remains to be seen how serious the interest is from Chelsea and Tottenham and whether Muniz will opt to make a move to one of the London clubs. With both teams in need of striking reinforcements, Muniz could have an important decision to make regarding his future.
