Tottenham Hotspur is considering making a move for Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz, as the player remains a target during the initial period of head coach Thomas Frank’s tenure at Hotspur Way, according to sources at GIVEMESPORT.
Spurs have already secured a permanent deal for Mathys Tel following a £30 million agreement with Bayern Munich, but they are keen on adding more attacking options for the upcoming season.
Under Frank’s leadership, Tottenham seeks to build on their recent success, having won the Europa League under previous manager Ange Postecoglou. Frank is looking to revamp the squad he inherited after leaving Brentford for his new role.

Tottenham is contemplating reaching out regarding Muniz, who is likely to be interested in joining a club that offers Champions League football, especially since he is keen on leaving Fulham for a larger opportunity.
Leeds United has already tried to secure the striker with a bid of up to £32 million, but Fulham rejected the offer, which could open the door for Tottenham and other interested clubs to make an improved offer.
Despite interest from Tottenham, sources indicate that Fulham is not currently looking to sell Muniz. They are aiming to extend his contract rather than let him go, although Spurs may consider testing Fulham’s resolve with a new proposal.

Should Tottenham wish to recruit Muniz, they might need to pay around £50 million, which is the price Fulham has reportedly set for the player, particularly in light of interest from higher-profile clubs.
At 24, Muniz has been described as a ‘complete centre-forward’ due to his improved performance at Fulham, making it challenging for interested clubs to pry him away. However, Tottenham is among several clubs monitoring his situation as they look to enhance their attacking options.
This interest intensifies as Chelsea has also begun taking notice of Muniz, and further inquiries from various domestic and international clubs are expected after Leeds’ initial attempt to sign him.
