The transfer window is still a few months away, but the rumours around Fulham are starting to crop up.
Indeed, after Marco Silva signed his new contract with the club, we’re eagerly anticipating a flurry of activity from the Whites in the coming months.
With the gaffer on board for the foreseeable future, Fulham can finally start thinking long-term, and according to the Portuguese media, they’ve identified a young star as a potential target.
Indeed, according to Record, Fulham are interested in Sporting CP’s Geny Catamo.
Now, this isn’t all that surprising to hear.
Fulham have had their eyes on the Portuguese market for quite some time now, and Sporting in particular.
They were linked with Jovane Cabral year on year for what felt like half a decade, before ultimately signing Joao Palhinha from the Portuguese giants.
Furthermore, Fulham made a move for Benfica’s Morato in the summer, albeit an unsuccessful attempt at signing the Brazilian.
It’s no shock to see that Fulham are targeting that part of the world once again. After all, Marco Silva knows Portugal like the back of his hand, as does his assistant Luis Boa Morte.
Aston Villa are also said to be keen on Catamo, and while the added competition is frustrating, the fact that Villa are looking at the player would indicate that he is indeed a Premier League-level talent.
Whether or not this move goes ahead remains to be seen, but the fact that Fulham are already planning for the future and seemingly letting Marco Silva steer the ship a bit more in terms of transfers is certainly a positive.
If Catamo can come in and be half as successful as Palhinha has been after his move from Sporting, then this move would be a huge success.
This is one to keep an eye on heading into January.
