[Fulham] has reportedly shown significant interest in securing the signature of talented midfielder Yunus Musah, who has also attracted attention from Italian Serie A giants [AC Milan]. Despite Milan's official bid of €17 million (£14.6m/$18.6m) to Valencia for Musah, Fulham is determined to secure his services and is prepared to submit a bid of £20 million. The Sun reported that Fulham's manager, [Marco Silva], has the financial resources to make the transfer happen, with Musah sitting at the top of his wishlist. Under Silva's guidance, Fulham achieved an impressive 10th-place finish in the previous Premier League season and is now looking to consolidate their position as a mid-table team.
Yunus Musah, who was born in New York, has already earned 24 international caps and gained valuable European experience. These factors make him an ideal target for Fulham as they aim to build on their recent successes. Musah is expected to be sold to the highest bidder, and while Milan is making strong efforts to secure his services, they have not yet reached Valencia's asking price.
The allure of playing in Serie A is enticing for the player, particularly with the possibility of joining fellow American Christian Pulisic in Italy. The 20-year-old Musah began his youth career at Arsenal before making a move to Valencia in Spain, where he has amassed over 100 appearances for the club. Additionally, he has represented the United States with 27 international caps.
Fulham's pursuit of Musah is contingent on the potential departure of Joao Palhinha from the club during the summer transfer window. If Palhinha moves on, Fulham sees Musah as an ideal replacement and is prepared to make a concerted effort to acquire his services. Furthermore, Fulham is keen on retaining the services of another American international, Antonee Robinson, and is planning to offer him a new contract. Robinson has attracted interest from Manchester City, AC Milan, and Marseille.
