Tottenham Hotspur have had a £32m bid rejected for Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz, with the Cottagers adamant they don't want to sell, according to Brazilian outlet Bolavip.
The north London club want to bolster their attacking options this summer for manager Thomas Frank as they prepare to head to the Champions League, amid question marks over the futures of Heung-Min Son and Richarlison.
Now it has emerged that the Lilywhites have made a move to add another Brazilian striker to their ranks, but have fallen short in their attempts.
Tottenham Table £32m Bid for Muniz
Fulham adamant they won't sell
Muniz, who has been described as 'insane', has emerged as a wanted man during the summer transfer window amid interest from Leeds United and Spurs.
After Daniel Farke's side had a bid rejected for the 24-year-old, it has now emerged that Tottenham also tabled a £32m offer to sign the forward that was rejected by Fulham.
However, Fulham are adamant they don't want to sell him as they want to keep their squad together and are planning on offering him a new contract at Craven Cottage to extend his time in west London, with his current deal due to expire in 2026.
GIVEMESPORT sources have revealed that Muniz would be open to a move to Tottenham this summer, although Fulham are believed to be holding out for around £50m. Reports in Brazil believe he will be sold due to his contract situation, however.
Spurs have considered deals to sign forwards Bryan Mbeumo and Antoine Semenyo this summer, but the former only wants to join Manchester United while the latter has now signed a new contract with Bournemouth after the club decided against pursuing a move due to his asking price.
West Ham United star Mohammed Kudus has now emerged as a top target with talks ongoing for a deal that would be worth in excess of £60m, and Muniz could yet also be added to the squad in the coming months.
