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.
Lookman to stay at Atalanta as Inter confirm withdrawal from talks
After looking to be on the verge of leaving Atalanta, Ademola Lookman is now set to remain with La Dea heading into the 2025-26 season, reports from Italy claim.
According to Sky Sport this evening, via CalcioMercato, Lookman could be available for new head coach Ivan Juric as early as the Bergamo side’s Serie A season opener this weekend against Pisa.
Furthermore, Inter, who were strongly linked as favourites to sign Lookman, have officially communicated their decision to Atalanta to pull out of the race for the Nigerian forward. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirms that in the next day, the player’s representatives will be fully updated on the situation.
Lookman saga draws to a close – so what is next for Atalanta forward?
Romano suggests that whilst Atlético Madrid still have some interest in the former Fulham attacker, currently there are no talks ongoing between the clubs or representatives.
Therefore, Lookman will return to Atalanta and despite publicly declaring his wish to leave the club this summer, it no longer looks as though he will.
Of course, there remains two more weeks of the transfer window and the player’s desire to leave could keep the door ajar for an interested club to snap him up, should they meet Atalanta’s asking price.
