Tottenham Hotspur are actively weighing up a move for Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz, with GIVEMESPORT sources revealing that the club is seriously considering making contact in a bid to bring the Brazilian forward to North London. The 24-year-old is reportedly open to a transfer — but only if it means a step up to a significantly higher level of competition. Spurs, having secured UEFA Champions League qualification for the upcoming season, believe they can offer the kind of platform that might tempt Muniz to leave Craven Cottage.
Muniz, who has just completed a breakthrough 2024/25 season in the Premier League, is under growing demand as clubs across England and Europe take note of his progress. Leeds United, newly promoted back to the top flight, have already tested Fulham’s resolve with a formal bid worth up to £32 million earlier in the summer. However, that offer was swiftly turned down by the west London club, which sees Muniz as a central figure in their future plans.
This initial rejection from Fulham has created a potential opening for other clubs to swoop in, with Tottenham now among those monitoring the situation closely. The north London side, under the fresh leadership of new head coach Thomas Frank, are said to be contemplating whether to test Fulham’s stance with an improved offer. Sources close to the club say that Muniz has remained a player of interest since Frank’s arrival at Hotspur Way, as he looks to reshape and strengthen the squad left behind by Ange Postecoglou.
Tottenham have already been active in the transfer market this summer, completing the permanent signing of Mathys Tel from Bayern Munich for £30 million following a successful loan spell. However, there is a clear desire from Frank and the Spurs hierarchy to bring in additional attacking reinforcements. With the club aiming to build on the momentum of last season’s Europa League triumph — their first major trophy in 17 years — strengthening the frontline is considered a top priority.
Fulham Eager to Retain Star Striker
While Muniz is entering the final 12 months of his current contract — reportedly worth £7,500 per week — Fulham hold an option to extend the deal by another year. That clause gives the Cottagers a stronger negotiating position, and they are using it to ward off suitors for now. Club officials remain adamant that Muniz is not for sale and are keen to tie him down to a longer-term deal instead of sanctioning his departure.
Nevertheless, Tottenham are not the only side lurking. GMS sources indicate that Chelsea are also keeping tabs on the striker’s situation, while other Premier League clubs and teams across Europe are expected to register formal interest as the summer window progresses.
Spurs Must Meet Lofty Asking Price
For any deal to materialize, Tottenham will likely have to table an offer in the region of £50 million — a figure Fulham are believed to be holding out for should any “big six” club come calling. The west London club sees that valuation as appropriate given Muniz’s age, form, and potential.
Described by analysts and pundits alike as a “complete centre-forward,” Muniz has elevated his game in recent seasons, becoming a reliable goal threat and focal point in Fulham’s attack. His all-around play, physical presence, and ability to link up with teammates have made him one of the most promising young strikers in the Premier League.
With Tottenham manager Thomas Frank eager to bring in competition for existing forwards such as Richarlison and Dominic Solanke — the latter recently signed from Bournemouth — Muniz would represent a significant addition to Spurs’ attacking arsenal. His blend of technical quality and physicality could make him a strong fit in Frank’s system as Spurs prepare to challenge on multiple fronts next season.
As the transfer window unfolds, all eyes will be on whether Spurs follow through with a formal bid. If they do, they’ll need to act decisively — not only to convince Fulham to sell but also to fend off rival interest and persuade Muniz that his future lies at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
