Fulham has expressed a strong interest in signing USMNT midfield star Yunus Musah, who is also being pursued by Serie A giants AC Milan.
While Milan has already made an official offer of €17 million (£14.6m/$18.6m) to Valencia for the midfielder, Fulham is determined to secure his services and is preparing to submit a bid of £20 million deal.
The Sun reported that Fulham boss Marco Silva has money to spend and hard-running Yunus Musah is top of his wish list. Under the guidance of Marco Silva, Fulham achieved a respectable 10th-place finish in the Premier League last season. They currently have plans of solidifying their position as a mid-table team.
New York-born Musah has 24 caps plus European experience, so he is ideal for Fulham as they look to build on a good campaign.
Musah will be sold to the highest bidder and, despite Milan trying hard to get him, they have yet to reach the asking price.
The lure of Serie A is big for the player and the possibility of also having fellow American Christian Pulisic joining him there, too.
20-year-old Yunus Musah began his youth career at Arsenal before making the move to Spain to join Valencia. Since then, he has accumulated over 100 appearances for the club and earned 27 international caps with the United States.
Fulham’s pursuit of Musah is contingent on the potential departure of Joao Palhinha from the club during the summer transfer window. Should Palhinha move on, Fulham sees Musah as an ideal replacement and is ready to make a concerted effort to acquire him. Additionally, Fulham is keen on retaining the services of another US international, Antonee Robinson, and is planning to offer him a new contract. Robinson has attracted interest from Manchester City, AC Milan, and Marseille.
