Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz has been shortlisted by Italian club Atalanta as they seek a replacement for Mateo Retegui.

Muniz, 24, has just one year left on his contract at Craven Cottage but the club also retain an option to extend the Brazilian's contract by a further year, leaving the west Londoners in some control of his destiny.

However, Atalanta have funds after qualifying for the Champions League and selling Retegui, the top scorer in Italy's Serie A last season, to Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah for a reported £56m fee.
