The summer transfer window is buzzing with activity around Fulham, with the latest reports linking the club to FC Barcelona winger Roony Bardghji. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 17 possible arrivals and 2 potential exits. The hottest storyline right now revolves around Real Madrid's Gonzalo García, but below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Roony Bardghji
On Sunday, it was reported that Fulham is one of several clubs interested in FC Barcelona's 20-year-old Swedish winger Roony Bardghji. Sunderland, Leeds, Brighton, Aston Villa, and Juventus are also reportedly showing interest. FC Barcelona does not plan to include Bardghji in the training camp that begins on August 28 and is open to a loan or a sale, though it is said the club prefers a permanent transfer. A sale with a buy-back option is considered a likely possibility. While some reports indicated a fee of €20-25 million, other reports suggested €10 million might be sufficient.
Franco Mastantuono
The latest update on Sunday suggests Franco Mastantuono is available for a loan move because he does not initially appear to be in the plans of new coach José Mourinho. According to the BBC, Fulham is interested in acquiring Mastantuono on loan, with the intention of providing him with regular playing time. Last season, the midfielder played 33 matches for the first team. On Friday, Fichajes reported that Fulham are pursuing the signing of the Real Madrid player on a season-long loan.
Erskine Rennie
Fabrizio Romano reported on Saturday that Fulham have agreed a deal to sign 16-year-old winger Erksine Rennie from Celtic. Romano also stated that Rennie chose Fulham ahead of other English and European clubs, will join on a long-term contract, and that the deal is done. Another report from Saturday noted that an agreement had been reached for the Scottish and Irish striker, with the young player understood to have agreed to a three-year contract and Celtic set to receive around £100,000 in compensation.
Gonzalo García
On Saturday, it was reported that new manager Alvaro Arbeloa intends to strengthen his Fulham squad by signing forward Gonzalo Garcia. According to the BBC, it is expected that Garcia will participate in the pre-season tour with the Madrid club, but he could become available later in the transfer window. Earlier in the week, Sky Sports UK reported that Arbeloa desires to bring Garcia to the Premier League and make him a central figure in the club's project.
Matías Soulé
A Saturday report from Corriere dello Sport indicates that the agent of Matías Soulé is currently in England holding talks with Fulham concerning a potential transfer. The same report states that Roma would be willing to accept an offer for Soulé of approximately 35 million euros.
Luka Stojković
Germanijak reported on Saturday that Fulham has sent an offer for Luka Stojković. The outlet also stated that no one has yet bid 10 million euros for the Dinamo player.
Shea Charles
According to a Team Talk report on Saturday, Shea Charles has made it clear that a move to Elland Road is his top priority. The report states he will give priority to Leeds above rival interest from Fulham and Crystal Palace if a deal can be agreed.
