Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 5 possible arrivals and 2 potential exits. While the hottest storyline right now is about Sacha Boey, the items below contain the latest news on the most important transfer rumours.
Kike Salas
On Thursday, it was reported that Fulham are monitoring Sevilla's Spanish defender Kike Salas, with Arsenal also reportedly interested in the 24-year-old. It is reported that both Premier League clubs had scouts watching the player during Sevilla’s draw against Espanyol last weekend. Salas has a contract with the Spanish club until 2029, and as an important player for them, Sevilla is under no pressure to approve his departure and would require a high price from any suitor.
Lucien Agoumé
Fulham are competing with their London rivals Arsenal for the signing of Sevilla's 24-year-old French defensive midfielder, Lucien Agoumé, according to reports on Thursday. It is reported that Arsenal are monitoring the player and have sent scouts to watch him play. It is believed that Sevilla is open to selling Agoumé if their valuation is met.
Calvin Bassey
According to Italpress on Wednesday, Chivu's team is interested in Calvin Bassey, and contacts between the defender and his current club, Fulham, are at a critical stage. The report states Bassey is out of contract with Fulham, which would like to keep him and has an option to extend his contract by another year. The player is currently evaluating offers to decide whether to stay with Fulham or let his contract expire, which would allow him to sign with a new club in January and be acquired for free in July. Inter has been interested in Bassey since last winter.
Sander Berge
On Tuesday, it was reported that Chelsea explored signing Fulham's midfielder Sander Berge as the club prepared for Enzo Fernandez's departure to Manchester City. According to BBC Sport, Chelsea looked at Berge as one of several midfield options, but Fulham were strongly opposed to selling the player so late in the transfer window. Chelsea's interest did not advance to a formal offer.
Gabriel Sara
Fanatik reported on Sunday that Fulham has made official approaches for Gabriel Sara, who aspires to play in the Premier League. Persistent offers from European clubs have reached the level of €20 million, but the Galatasaray management rejected these offers on the grounds that the transfer fee they expected had not been met. The management had set an asking price of €30 million.
Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal
Abdelhamid Aït Boudlal could have joined Fulham this summer, according to a report from Friday. The English club offered the Breton club close to 40 million euros, but the Breton club had no intention of selling its player.
Sacha Boey
Interest from Fulham in Sacha Boey did not result in a transfer, and he currently remains in the squad of FC Bayern München, as of a report from Friday. Earlier reports from Tuesday stated that Fulham had registered its interest and was working on a deal for the 25-year-old.
