The summer transfer window is heating up for Fulham, with the latest reports linking the club to German wonderkid Said El Mala. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to six possible arrivals and two potential exits. The hottest storyline right now revolves around Danilo, but below is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Said El Mala
On Wednesday, it was reported that Fulham has registered interest in 19-year-old German winger Said El Mala, though other English clubs are also pursuing him. The German club has indicated that offers under 50 million euros are not being considered, having previously blocked an approach from Brighton & Hove Albion. Köln is also reportedly hopeful of a significant offer from FC Chelsea, with talks suggesting Chelsea might meet the valuation and then loan the player back.
Federico Gatti
Fulham are among several Premier League clubs interested in Juventus's 27-year-old Italian centre-back, Federico Gatti, according to reports on Wednesday. Everton, Aston Villa, and Crystal Palace are also reportedly keen. Gatti, who has been capped 8 times for Italy, could leave the Italian club this summer, with Juventus wanting a fee of €20-25M. He joined Juventus in January 2022 for a reported €5.4 million and has a contract until 2030. In late 2024, a reported €25 million offer from Newcastle was rejected.
Moustapha Mbow
On Monday, it was reported that Fulham is one of several Premier League clubs to have submitted a concrete offer for FC Paris centre-back Moustapha Mbow. Crystal Palace and West Ham United have also presented firm proposals for the 26-year-old Senegalese player. An unnamed Bundesliga club has reportedly contacted his representatives, and with interest also coming from Ligue 1, a transfer abroad is currently considered more likely.
Danilo
The latest reports on Monday state that Fulham are interested in Danilo. Botafogo's preference is to receive a significant fee from a European club, and it is expected that an offer of around €40 million would be accepted. This follows a report from FogaoNET on Saturday that Danilo is being pursued by Fulham. Last Tuesday, a source stated that Fulham could compete with Zenit for the player and is capable of offering €22 million plus €8 million. Previously, Fulham made a 30 million euro offer which Botafogo turned down during the last transfer window due to a lack of time to secure a replacement.
Harry Wilson
Regarding the future of Harry Wilson, Football Insider reported on Saturday that Aston Villa have begun preliminary talks with the player over a potential free transfer. The move would reportedly involve his wages doubling to more than £100k per week. This follows earlier reports that Wilson was expected to join Aston Villa on a free transfer, with WalesOnline claiming a deal had been agreed.
Raúl Jiménez
On Saturday, FOX questioned Raúl Jiménez about his future, and the player confirmed there are currently no active negotiations or a renewal proposal from Fulham. His contract expires at the end of the current season, and if a new agreement is not reached, he would become a free agent. This would facilitate a potential move to Club América, which he has stated is his only option if he returns to Mexican football.
Sorba Thomas
Fulham's interest in Stoke City's Welsh international winger Sorba Thomas was reported on Friday. The club faces competition from Sunderland and newly-promoted Coventry City, with Coventry reportedly in the leading position to sign the 27-year-old. It is reported that the Premier League newcomers would have to pay approximately €25m (£22m) to sign Thomas.
