Fulham's 24-year-old Brazilian striker, Rodrigo Muniz, has recently been added to Newcastle's shortlist. Newcastle is considering Muniz as a backup option if their primary target, Benjamin Sesko, opts to join Manchester United. Craig Hope of The Daily Mail reported that Newcastle is actively working on deals for both Benjamin Sesko and Brentford's Yoane Wissa, with Rodrigo Muniz being a recent addition to their shortlist. As Newcastle faces strong competition from Manchester United in their pursuit of Sesko, they are exploring alternatives, including Muniz, to ensure they have reliable options if their top choices are unavailable. Muniz is under contract with Fulham until June 2026, and his market value is estimated at €20.00m by Transfermarkt. Additionally, other clubs such as Tottenham Hotspur and Leeds United have expressed interest in the forward.
