Fulham news: Rodrigo Muniz signs new long-term contract as striker 'safeguards' future

Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz has committed his future to the club with a new long-term deal.

The Brazilian was the subject of transfer interest in the summer window, including from Serie A side Atalanta BC.

However, Fulham managed to retain Muniz's services beyond the end of the market, and have now moved to ward off any future interest in the forward.

Fulham have confirmed that Muniz has put pen to paper on fresh terms to keep him at the club until at least the summer of 2030.

The 24-year-old's five-year deal includes an option for Fulham to extend his contract by a further 12 months.

Muniz 'very grateful' for new Fulham deal

“I really want to thank God," Muniz told FFCtv. "I’m very grateful, and I would like to thank the club for having trust in me.

“I would also like to thank my family, my friends in Brazil, and all the fans. I would like to thank everyone. It’s an amazing feeling to stay here and to have this contract and to safeguard my future.”

Fulham's vice-chairman and director of football operations, Tony Khan, expressed his delight at securing the long-term future of one of Marco Silva's key forward options.

“I’m thrilled that we have extended the contract of Rodrigo Muniz until at least 2030," Khan said.

“He’s a great professional, revered by his teammates, staff, and Fulham supporters, and he’s scored some very important goals for the club! I’m very happy that Rodrigo will be with us for many more seasons!"

What next for Muniz?

Having signed a new contract, Muniz will now be focusing on returning to full fitness as soon as possible after missing the defeat to Aston Villa with a muscle problem.

Muniz will not return to action until some point after the international break, ruling him out of Friday's Premier League away clash against Bournemouth.

The forward will be aiming to put together a strong run form when he eventually makes his injury comeback, having gone four Premier League appearances without a goal since scoring against Brighton & Hove Albion on the opening day of the season.

Meanwhile, Muniz's fellow striker, Raul Jimenez, will hope to shake off a knock in time for the upcoming trip to the South coast, otherwise, Silva will have to make do without a recognised centre-forward.
