Rodrigo Muniz could be the answer to Leeds United’s attacking prayers.

Daniel Farke will be keen to see his side make the most out of the summer transfer window, with Jaka Bijol and Lukas Nmecha already through the door at Elland Road.

Replacing Illan Meslier will be a priority, though the addition of a new striker will likely be at the top of the list for Leeds, amid links to Muniz.

The Whites are said to be keen on signing the Fulham frontman, with a new update emerging on their pursuit.

Fulham ready Muniz replacement as Leeds prepare to swoop

Nikola Krstovic is one of the strikers to have been linked with a move to Leeds, though it seems as though the Whites are intent on encouraging Muniz to make the move.

Muniz was said to be considered a key player for Fulham, but a report from The Athletic (26 June) states that the Cottagers are now preparing to make a move for Romulo from Turkish club Goztepe.

Should that deal go through, Muniz would almost certainly drop down the pecking order, opening the door for Leeds to make a new approach, of which they are believed to be set to do.

TNT Sports Brazil have reported via X that the Whites are now preparing a new bid for the Brazilian, after they had a £26million offer rejected.

Should Fulham’s deal for Romulo go through, there is every chance that Leeds can push on and secure an arrival of their own.

Leeds need to spend wisely this summer

Ultimately, achieving survival isn’t about what you spend, it’s entirely about how you spend it, and Leeds have done well in regard to the latter so far.

However, only time will tell if that trend continues, with it crucial that Farke has access to a squad that is capable of competing in the Premier League if the Whites are to avoid the drop.
