FULHAM HAS CONTACTED MANCHESTER UNITED IN ORDER TO SIGN A $60,000-PER-WEEK MIDFIELDER.
During the final two days of the summer transfer window, Marco Silva’s Fulham are purportedly attempting to sign Manchester United’s Scott McTominay.
Sky Sports reports that Scott McTominay is a target for Premier League rivals Fulham and Manchester United.
Scott McTominay is a player that Fulham is attempting to acquire from Manchester United.
Fulham is reportedly considering McTominay as a potential replacement for Joao Palhinha, a Portuguese international midfielder.
The Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are attempting to sign Palhinha, who is eager to play at the Allianz Arena.
Therefore, Fulham is searching for potential replacements.
Sky Sports reports that Fulham “have made initial contact” with United “over the conditions of a potential deal” for the £60,000-per-week (Spotrac) midfielder.
The report indicates that United rejected a £30 million offer from West Ham United earlier in the transfer window.
It will be intriguing to see if McTominay is interested in joining Fulham so late in the transfer window.
The Scotland international midfielder is unlikely to see much playing time at United if he remains, so a move to Fulham would be a step down for him.
United will contend for the Premier League title and also compete in the UEFA Champions League this season.
McTominay could possibly wait until January 2024 to evaluate his situation, depending on how frequently he appears for the Red Devils over the next few weeks and months.
McTominay has made 146 Premier League appearances thus far in his career.
In those games, the Scotland international midfielder has tallied 12 goals and provided three assists.
