Leeds United are readying a move for Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz, sources have told Football Insider.
The 24-year-old forward has emerged as a target for the Whites ahead of their return to the Premier League for the 2025-26 campaign.
Muniz is under contract at Fulham until June 2026 but the Craven Cottage outfit have the option to extend his deal a further 12 months.
Leeds are targeting Premier League experience following promotion and the Cottagers star is seen as fitting the bill after his time in the top flight.

Football Insider revealed last month (6 May) that Leeds will not build their attack around Championship top scorer Joel Piroe next term.
Leeds have question marks over Piroe’s ability to make the step up and are not planning to count on him as their first-choice striker next season.

Firpo closes in on Leeds exit
Meanwhile, Football Insider revealed last week (2 June) that Junior Firpo is increasingly likely to leave Leeds as a free agent later this month.
AC Milan, Olympique Lyonnais and Spanish sides are all ready to sign the Dominican Republic international on a free transfer.
Firpo has also been made a renewal offer at Leeds but nothing has been agreed – and it is believed he is inching closer to the exit door at Elland Road.
