Fulham have set their sights on a £25 million signing as Alvaro Arbeloa steps into his new role as head coach, marking his first attempt to strengthen the squad since his recent appointment. The club is actively pursuing this target amid a busy transfer window.
In parallel, Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Luka Stojkovic is attracting interest from multiple clubs, including Fulham, as well as Bologna and Lazio. The 22-year-old, who delivered an impressive season tallying 13 goals and 12 assists, is valued by Dinamo at €10 million.
Shifts in Pre-Season Plans and Transfer Talks
Meanwhile, Barcelona has altered its pre-season plans, deciding not to invite Fulham to the prestigious Joan Gamper Trophy following Arbeloa’s appointment. Instead, the Spanish giants have extended the invitation to Egyptian side Al Ahly. Other potential participants such as Ajax and Cruz Azul were also considered, but negotiations with these clubs did not materialize.
Roma is actively working to offload forward Matías Soulé for approximately €35 million in an effort to bolster the club’s finances. The player’s agent, Martin Guastadisegno, is currently in England engaging in discussions with both Fulham and Sunderland, both of whom have expressed interest in the 23-year-old attacker.
