A novelty published on Fulham's social media, this Tuesday (23), showed how Rodrigo Muniz, Flamengo's creation, has been gaining more and more prestige in the Premier League. The English club published a video showing that the striker has a new number: nine.Signed in August 2021, the striker had been having good participations, but still lackluster. He was even loaned to Middlesbrough for the Championship – second division of the English Championship – in the 2022/23 season. Returning to Fulham, Rodrigo Muniz took advantage of his opportunities as a starter after Raúl Jiménez's injury, even being elected player of the month for March in the Premier League.

This change in number demonstrates a certain prestige that the player has been acquiring, both from fans, as well as the club and coach itself, since even after Jiménez's return, Muniz still remained coach Marco Silva's option to be the team's starter. Another proof that the former Flamengo player is on good terms with the English fans is the song they made for him:

“He went to Boro, he couldn't even start, comes back to Fulham, he's tearing teams apart, he's magic, he's really is, hi's name Rodrigo, Rodrigo Muniz” (translation: “He went to Boro, he wasn't a starter, he came back to Fulham and he's destroying his opponents. He's magic, he really is. His name is Rodrigo, Rodrigo Muniz”).

Sold for 8 million euros in 2021, approximately 50 million reais at the price at the time, Flamengo still maintained a percentage of 25% for future sales of the athlete. Its current market value is around 20 million euros, according to < b>Transfermarkt.

Fulham, who has already admitted to being consulted by two giants of the “Big Six”, Chelsea and Tottenham, about the player's situation, estimates that a possible negotiation it would only be considered with proposals above 30 million euros (R$ 181 million). Of this amount, Rubro-Negro would be entitled to at least 7.5 million euros, approximately R$45 million. In other words, in total, Flamengo would raise almost R$100 million with Muniz. It's Ninho giving back to Gávea.

The interest of other clubs within the Premier League itself is yet another indication of Rodrigo Muniz's evolution. Before his good run with Fulham, for example, the striker's return to Brazil was heavily speculated. The biggest interested party was Atlético-MG, but it was Grêmio that came very close to signing.

In addition to Rodrigo Muniz, Fulham has three more Brazilian players: William, ex-Chelsea and Corinthians, Carlos Vinicius, ex-Benfica, and the one well known by the Nation, Andreas Pereira.

The English club continues to try to increase this contingent of “Brazilians” in the squad, as they are in strong talks with Fluminense to sign midfielder André. The information is that there is already a proposal on the table for the Rio tricolor and the values ​​are around 25 million pounds (around R$ 179 million).

André is an old acquaintance of Rodrigo Muniz. Both had some clashes for their respective youth categories. For professionals, they faced each other for Carioca and Brasileirão in 2021, with the midfielder winning both. In total there were eight games, with five wins for Muniz, two wins for André, as well as a draw, according to the website “oGol”.
