Aston Villa vs. Fulham: How to watch, date, time, live stream and TV channel for Premier League clash
Struggling Aston Villa will continue their search for their first Premier League win of the season on Sunday when they welcome in-form Fulham to Villa Park.

Unai Emery's side have found goals hard to come by in 2025-26, and Matty Cash scored their only top-flight strike of the campaign so far last Sunday in a 1-1 draw with 10-man newly-promoted Sunderland.

As for Marco Silva's Londoners, they have won four of their last five games ahead of this weekend's clash, and the Cottagers will be confident of securing another three points as they push for a place in Europe.

Here, Sports Mole provides all of the details you need to know about how to catch Sunday's Premier League action.

What time does Aston Villa vs. Fulham kick off?
The Villans will kick off against the Cottagers at 2:00pm on Sunday afternoon in the UK.

Where is Aston Villa vs. Fulham being played?
This clash will be hosted at Villa Park, the 43,205 capacity-stadium that has been home to Aston Villa since 1897.

How to watch Aston Villa vs. Fulham in the UK
TV channels
Viewers in the UK can watch this game on the Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League TV channels, as part of the broadcaster's deal to show every Sunday 2:00pm kickoff this season.

Streaming
Fans can also stream the match on the Sky Sports+ app, as well as via NOW UK if they have the relevant Sky Sports subscription package on the platform.

Highlights
Highlights will be available on the Sky Sports+ app within minutes of the final whistle, and posted on the broadcaster's YouTube channel later.

Extended highlights and a full-match replay will also be accessible on VillaTV and FFCTV, the clubs' own services.

Who will win Aston Villa vs. Fulham?
It took until matchweek five for Villa to score their first goal of the season, and it only earned them a single point against 10-man Sunderland last weekend as they failed to hold on.

Emery's side remain in the bottom three, and while they are unlikely to be in a relegation battle come the end of the campaign, they will be desperate to climb out of the drop zone sooner rather than later.

As for Fulham, they are in strong form going into Sunday's game, and having lost just once across all competitions in 2025-26, their resilience should see them avoid defeat at the very least.

Additionally, with three clean sheets in their last five matches, Silva's men could prove tough for the hosts to break down, especially in light of their disastrous start up top.

Jack and Loz in the Dugout - Blog 317
Date: 23rd September 2025
Opposition: Cambridge United
Competition: Carabao Cup Third Round
Score: 1-0
Goal scorer: Emile Smith Rowe
Weather: dry and autumnal
Atmosphere: Cam-tastic!
MOTM: Issa Diop and Jorge Cuenca were a perfect double act at centre back with French defence complementing Spanish opening to force our brainy opponents into check. With the Fulham attack unusually Blunt it was the back line that won us the game. We can't separate Issa and Jorge so they can share the MOTM award
Moment of the Match: when we came out of the Dugout bar and climbed the steps to pitch level, the first person we saw was Kenny Tete and he was two feet away. This set the tone for a star struck evening if not a fulfilling footballing one
Drinks and dinner: the Dugout is wholeheartedly recommended. From a welcome cocktail (a Raúl inspired Mexican Margarita for Loz and a black and white espresso martini for Jack) through a bowl food dinner with inclusive wine, to half time churros and then a post match night cap, the hospitality was generous and good quality. Best of all though was the manager's view of the pitch and the proximity to our heroes on the bench.

Cambridge come to West London every year for the Boat Race but Fulham don't play them at football very often. Tuesday night was therefore a special occasion for both sides with Cambridge fans turning up in droves. Unsurprisingly, people from the home of one of the best choirs in the world were very good singers. Lots of Hammy Enders treated themselves to seats in the Riverside; we went further and ensconced ourselves in the Dugout before watching the match from right behind Rodrigo Muniz and Josh King.

As well as bringing lots of fans, Cambridge brought a footballing Thesis entitled Ten Men Behind the Ball and they executed it so well that for the first half Fulham's mix and match team looked slow and stilted as they experimented with ways to break down a very resolute defence. We've struggled with low blocks before and the lower and blockier they are the trickier we find them.

Whilst we were excited that Kevin was starting, our newly-engaged star signing had played approximately 30 minutes of football in England, had no comprehension of how decent the English 4th tier is and had probably never heard of Cambridge before Tuesday afternoon so he took a while to Learn how to deal with this brand of football. Our second most expensive signing, ESR, needed some Education too and Adama was all over the place in a really bad way. Even Tom and Harrison who have Studied the lower leagues before couldn't provide a Bridge to Raúl who was floundering and isolated up front.

Passes went to no one unless they were going backwards and no amount of probing produced a breakthrough. The Cambridge playbook even allowed for some attacking moves by way of long Punts forward from the goalie but this is where Diop and Cuenca came into their own, blocking, sweeping and clearing every dangerous ball that came their way with confidence but not complacency.

Whilst we were savouring the delicious cinnamon dusted churros at half time, the players were slurping energy drinks so the team came out after half time with a lot more urgency. Harrison Reed transformed into a whirlwind attacker, Raúl began to Spy some routes to the goal, Kevin's skills began to shine and the match became a lot more exciting. Even so, the solid Cambridge defence didn't cave in until the Fulham subs entered the fray.

Josh was still determined to make up for his mistake against Brentford and was racing forwards with the ball at his feet. At one point, he was in the goal but the ball wasn't. The answer to the popular question, can Josh and Emile play together is, yes and we'd like to see it happen more often. We finally got to see Chukwueze and he looks fast and tidy.

The goal came from a kung fu style shot from Raúl which was parried by the Cambridge goalie, recycled by Castagne and tapped in by ESR. The players had collectively made Emile of scoring but once we were ahead the win felt secure, especially after Berge came on to reinforce the Backs.

For us, the evening was more about the Dugout experience than the match. We watched the game play out against the backdrop of the Johnny Haynes stand, the gable stark against the night sky. The seats behind the bench gave a different perspective and it's fascinating to see your second home in a new way. We all know how the Cottage comes alive under the lights but at pitch level the effect is intensified; as if there's nothing beyond the illuminated ground, nothing outside the Moment.

Inevitability, from that angle there's an element of watching Marco watch the match - a drama within a drama because he's not just observing; he's totally absorbed, kicking every ball with his players, wanting to head it away when they can't. His focus and commitment are absolute. And that's just when we're playing Cambridge United.

This was far from a classic cup tie but we were genuinely impressed with Cambridge's resilience. Luckily for Fulham, we have our own Genius to counter their clever plans.

Random musings:-

- Cambridge brought their mascot Marvin the Moose. We're not sure what moose have to do with Cambridge but he's cute

- The modern rules of football were developed on Parker's Piece in Cambridge in 1848

- It was good to see Antonee back in action but he was a bit rusty

- It was disappointing that our prolific scorer Own Goal wasn't in the squad

- As enjoyable as the hospitality was, you've got to wonder what Plan B for the Riverside is when at some time in the future we'll be playing the likes of Cambridge every week

- Time during which Calvin Bassey stops smiling: 0 minutes

- Time during which Marco Silva can sit still while his team are playing: 2 minutes at the most

- Our evening was complete when Sess, Andersen and Saśa's cheekbones walked past us in the bar on their way to cross the pitch to the dressing room

- As good as our seats were, nothing beats watching Fulham from the Hammy End with our longtime neighbours.

We were expecting our luck to have run out in terms of Cup opponents after this round but whilst an away game against Wycombe will be tough, for the forth year in a Row a Cup draw is opening up for us. With the strongest squad we've ever had, with the heartbreak of later round losses sharp in our minds, with maybe one last chance for Tom to lead the team out at Wembley again - could this finally be our year?

Harry Wilson development emerges as Leeds United's chances of January deal weighed up
Leeds United News sources have the latest on Harry Wilson's situation at Fulham following the comments made by Marco Silva this week.

In the end Harry Wilson did not join Leeds United but they made their move for him on deadline day. It was an exclusive from Leeds United News which first revealed Leeds' interest in Fulham winger Wilson.

A loan bid from Leeds to Fulham was rejected initially and that meant Wilson joining Leeds looked in doubt amid the need for a deal sheet to finalise a deal with Fulham late into deadline day.

It was later clear that the 28-year-old was not joining the Whites and the crucial details of the transfer collapse between Fulham, Leeds, and Wilson have been revealed since. It has left Leeds short of that elusive creative profile.

Harry Wilson's Fulham contract situation and Leeds' long-term interest
It's been said that Fulham could make Wilson available in January but not if fresh comments are anything to go by recently. It appears Wilson remains a part of the long-term plans at Fulham despite his contract expiring in June 2026.

Speaking via a press conference ahead of Fulham facing Cambridge United in the Carabao Cup earlier this week, Marco Silva explained Wilson's Fulham situation and said: "It is not a player who is with me just one month, two months, or two years.

"This is his fifth year with us. He was my first signing when I joined the football club, and I know him very well.

"For me, it was never a problem. I know, really, how much he wants to stay in the football club. Of course, conversations, they are there, the conversations between us and his representatives.

"Let's see what is going to happen. But I know, really, the aim of him is to stay in the football club and if we can get an agreement, his future is going to be with us, [I'm] 100 per cent sure."

Leeds United News spoke to our transfer correspondent Graeme Bailey for his verdict on those comments and ahead of January's transfer window. Firstly, he said: "I'm not sure exactly how close it was on deadline day, to be honest.

"Leeds were getting their hopes up and it wasn't particularly that close. Wilson's since been playing a part for Fulham. He started and scored recently."

On the mooted contract talks, he added: "I don't see Leeds having much chance of doing that deal now, you know. After a strong start, Leeds got the last few days of the window all wrong.

"They should have just done [Emi] Buendia, [Manor] Solomon, and [Josh] Sargent."

Harry Wilson's career stats so far
Leeds may have to miss out on a player Ally McCoist has had particular praise for recently. The Welshman is a set-piece taker and more creative than Leeds' other wide options.

Team	Appearances	Goals	Assists
Liverpool	2	0	0
Crewe Alexandra	7	0	0
Hull City	14	7	4
Derby County	49	18	6
AFC Bournemouth	35	7	2
Cardiff City	38	7	12
Fulham	153	26	38
Wales	64	14	11

Wilson's impact at Fulham remains strong, given how involved he continues to be in spite of fresh faces arriving in the wide areas at Craven Cottage.

In the Championship, his record is particularly impressive. In 134 games (including play-offs), Wilson scored 40 goals and claimed 40 assists. The 28-year-old could be cheap in January, providing Fulham fail to strike a deal.

West Ham Pay Price for Penny-Pinching as Silva Tops Wish List
Fulham manager Marco Silva was last night described to me as "the right man to take over West Ham."

The comment came from someone who has worked closely with the club in the past. When I suggested that the Hammers board might be reluctant to pay Silva's sizeable compensation clause, the reply was blunt:
"It's not too much if he's the right man."

David Sullivan is unlikely to pay compensation for West Ham's next manager.

For those unaware, the Portuguese coach has a buyout clause of between £8–10m in his Craven Cottage contract. Silva was a leading candidate to succeed both David Moyes and Julen Lopetegui, but on both occasions West Ham went for the cheaper option. In short, they opted for the budget choice rather than the best man for the job.

The folly of bargain-hunting has now been laid bare. West Ham will need to pay Graham Potter over £3m to terminate his contract, on top of the £3.6m severance package handed to Lopetegui—not including staff payouts. Factor in the £1m buyout clause paid to Chelsea for Kyle Macaulay, and you see the point: the club will have spent as much on failed appointments than it would have cost to hire Silva in the first place.

Whether the Hammers board have learned their lesson is doubtful. My understanding is that Silva remains a top choice for the role—but I won't be holding my breath.

Galatasaray eyeing winter move for Rodrigo Muniz
Galatasaray will reportedly look to sign 24-year-old Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz from Fulham in a deal worth €10 million in the winter transfer window.

According to a report by Turkish outlet Sabah, Rodrigo Muniz is the subject of interest from Galatasaray. The Turkish Super Lig champions are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the winter transfer window after failing to replace Alvaro Morata this past summer. So, the Fulham centre-forward has emerged as a target for Cimbom.

The report has suggested that Galatasaray will soon approach Fulham to hold talks over a possible winter deal for the South American attacker. The Turkish giants hope to secure Muniz's services in a deal worth €10 million in the coming weeks.

Rodrigo Muniz and his Fulham career so far
Rodrigo Muniz has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Fulham from Flamengo in August 2021. The 24-year-old has been a regular for the West London outfit since the 2023/24 season. However, Muniz was behind Raul Jimenez in the pecking order for strikers at Fulham last term, and he could not manage even 1,500 minutes of game time.

That has changed in the first few weeks of the 2025/26 season, as the Brazilian striker has been the first-choice striker for Fulham thus far, scoring one goal and providing one assist in five Premier League outings. However, Muniz's long-term future at Craven Cottage remains uncertain, as he has entered the final 12 months of his contract. The situation has alerted Galatasaray, with Cimbom eyeing a winter move for Muniz.

Turkish adventure awaits?
Galatasaray's interest in Rodrigo Muniz is understandable. Cimbom wanted to sign a striker in the summer transfer window after Alvaro Morata joined Serie A club Como. However, a deal did not materialise, and the Turkish Super Lig champions are targeting a deal for a centre-forward heading into the winter transfer window.

The need has grown after a dreadful start to the UEFA Champions League campaign. So, Muniz has emerged as a target for Galatasaray, with the Turkish club ready to contact Fulham over a possible move in the winter transfer window.

The Turkish Super Lig champions hope to secure Muniz's services in a deal worth €10 million. However, it is unclear if Fulham will be ready to part ways with the 24-year-old Brazilian striker, considering recent reports have claimed that the Cottagers want to secure his long-term future.

Is this the year we finally win a major trophy?
Dan Cooke looks at how this squad might be perfectly set-up for cup success

I think we might be a cup team.

Admittedly, that sounds like an incredibly optimistic sentence given we barely looked like a League One team on Tuesday night. However, I've managed to talk myself out of my irritation at that performance, thanks to some similarly tepid football from our Premier League peers and another very favourable draw.

Having had that time to think, I'm finding it hard not to get excited about our cup chances. Suddenly, we're a game against League One Wycombe away from being in the quarter finals, and this squad has a lot going for it.

Squad depth
It's astonishing that the team that started against Cambridge United was a completely rotated one. I implore you to have a look at the Fulham side that lost against Crawley just three years ago and it will really hammer home just how far we've come.

In our third round tie, there wasn't a single player on the pitch who I'd be concerned about featuring in a league game this season (other than maybe Lecomte and that's not really a slight on him). That's massive and key to cup success. It gives us a lovely balance of allowing important players to get some rest, before bringing them out in the latter stages of the competition, all without significantly weakening either our league or cup line-ups.

If we do go deep in either cup competition, it will likely have to start taking priority over the league. What a privilege it is to be able to call on Cairney, Castagne, Diop, Cuenca, Raul, to step into top flight games as rotational options. I can't remember the last time there was such a small drop-off between core and fringe squad members, in a positive way (I can remember plenty of occasions where there was no drop-off throughout the squad, but that was because they were all useless).

This is even more significant when you consider that the scary teams in domestic competitions are also fighting in Europe and can't afford to take their eye off the league. Most other teams will consider rotating right up until the final stages, we shouldn't have to.

New-found defensive stability
The hallmark of this season so far has been how solid we have looked at the back. Statistically we're putting out some really good defensive numbers and we've hopefully seen the back of our unfortunate run of giving away penalties.

Joachim Andersen has started to look every bit the leader we thought he would be. His partnership with Calvin Bassey is really flourishing and as a pair they seem to have a lovely balance. We're blessed in the full-back department, especially when you consider we've looked so solid without the best left-back in the division.

We've all heard variations on the cliche about attack winning you games but defences winning titles; but it's true. Knockout games are so frequently tight, scrappy games of football, by building these solid foundations, we're starting to morph into a really dangerous cup side.

I wrote a piece about how Silva has evolved his tactics from being entertainers to being something sterner. That additional steel, that defensive resoluteness, is something we could have done with in our semi-final against Liverpool and definitely needed in our FA cup quarter-final gubbing by Palace.

Being able to win gritty games 1-0 feels like the sort of thing we need to be able to do to finally break our lifelong celibacy from silverware. This side feels like it's capable of that.

Moments
We spoke a lot about last season being defined by moments. I actually think this squad is blessed with "moments" players. Harry Wilson and Rodrigo Muniz are great examples and I think Kevin and Samuel Chukwueze will turn out to be too.

They are all players who are capable of doing something special out of nowhere. Eberechi Eze is the reason we didn't make it Wembley this year, he's also the reason why Palace now possess their first ever trophy. We can never be blessed with a squad like Manchester City's, but neither will Crystal Palace. What they had was the right blend of defensive stability, attacking flair and a slice of luck. We've got the first two, and if our top scorer is anything to go by, I'd stick a tenner on Own Goal scoring the winner in the final.

In order to win a cup, we'll have to do it against underdogs, we will have to succeed against teams who we would ordinarily expect to lose to. I think that suits us. We've now proved that we are capable of beating anyone (apart from Manchester City). Every other high profile team has been on the end of a Marco Silva masterclass over the past two seasons. We've done it before, we can do it again.

Are Fulham definitely going to win a trophy this season? No, of course not. However, do I think this is probably the best chance we've had in a long time? Absolutely.

We can see the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup, at which point, under the lights at Craven Cottage, you'd back us against anyone. If we don't succeed there, then focus can shift to the FA Cup, where last season we were one step from Wembley.

It feels like we're building up to something. We've experienced gut-wrenching disappointment in the cups for three consecutive years, which all provided pertinent lessons on what it takes. I think Marco is desperate for this, he knows what it means to us and he wants his name in Fulham folklore.

It really feels like this year, we could go all the way.

Notes from our September meeting with Fulham FC
On Wednesday, 10 September 2025 at 1.30 pm, the Fulham Supporters Trust (FST) met with Fulham FC via video conference.
 
The Club was represented by:

    Eleanor Rowland (Director of Safeguarding & Inclusion, ER)
    Carmelo Mifsud (Communications Director, CM)
    Jamie Nicholson (Head of Supporter Services, JN)
    Nicola Walworth (Supporter Liaison Manager & Disability Liaison Officer, NW)

The FST were represented by:

    Simon Duke (Chair, SD)
    Hayley Davinson (Deputy Chair, HD)
    Tamara Dragadze (Board Member, TD)

HOW IT WORKS

This was the latest of the smaller meetings we have agreed to have with the Club to explore in more detail some of the areas of activity, which should be of interest to our members. It is expected these meetings will provide deeper insight into the way the Club operate and provide explanations for some of the more commonly asked questions.

ER opened by stating that the Club is committed, at all levels, to promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) through a robust strategy. This includes both staff and fans.

The main aim of EDI is to promote an equitable environment thus to prevent discrimination and to ensure punishment and education are efficient, to stamp out racism and prejudice.

The Club currently has a three-year plan (2024/27) and they have been working to achieve Intermediary Status from PLEDIS (Premier League Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy). This has included mandatory training of stewards, whose inactivity in EDI reaction until now has been a challenge, and input from fans. A decision is expected shortly.

The following documents may be of interest to FST members and other fans:-

Fulham for All strategy (2024/27)
Club website for EDI
Club Policy for EDI

The EDI policy was first introduced 8 years ago. It covers both Fulham Football Club and the Fulham Foundation.

An EDI staff survey (to include Club and Foundation) was undertaken in 2023/24 with key findings from 274 respondents:-

    68% of respondents were male,
    68% were also white British, 13% Black, African, Caribbean or Black British, 8% mixed ethnic group and 4% Asian,
    87% were heterosexual, with 5% Bisexual, Gay Women or Lesbian,
    Age categories were well spread, with the largest representation, 55%, in the 25-44 age band.
    45% were Christian, 37% no religion, with the remainder being Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Sikh, other or prefer not to say.

An EDI fan survey (Season Ticket holders or Members) was also undertaken in 2023/24 with c3,500 responses, which has provided a good sample size. Key findings about our fan base from the survey:-

    84% of respondents were male,
    93% were white British, 1% Black, African, Caribbean or Black British, 4% mixed ethnic group and 1% Asian,
    94% were heterosexual, with 3% Bisexual, Gay Women/Men or Lesbian,
    Age categories were well spread, with the largest representation, 46%, in the 45-64 age band.
    48% were Christian, 39% no religion, with the remainder being Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, Sikh, Hindu, or prefer not to say

SD said that the FST do annual surveys, which could be helpful to the Club in terms of benchmarking some of this data.

It was agreed that core to this strategy on match days is reporting incidents inside the stadium using FulStop. This is made difficult in real time because of the poor quality and limited availability of Mobile/WiFi signals. This is being addressed.

Disability access and mental health awareness are being and will continue to be promoted with staff, players and fans.

The aim is for everyone to be able to 'be themselves".

This is a very important subject where we can expect to see more regular articles promoting EDI awareness going forward. Fans are encouraged to report any incidents, particularly racial abuse, noting seat numbers where possible.

Other points covered include:-

    The EDI Team are the first port of call for player abuse, particularly on social media.
    The Club would like to see more diverse ethnicities in both our fan base and staff,
    A certain number of tickets are made available to the community to encourage a wider fan base,
    Stewards are being given additional training in dealing with racial abuse,
    The Club would like to increase utilisation of wheelchair bays  to at least an average of 80%.
    The Club expect to publish more regular data, which will provide fans with details of action taken in respect of EDI breaches.

Meeting closed at 14.45


Non EDI related issues raised by members have been dealt with outside the formal meeting and Club comments (in blue) are as follows:-

 P2 Toilet seems to have a water problem with no water available to wash hands 20 minutes before kick off.

This has been reported, unfortunately this only occurs when there is a rush of usage with lots of toilets flushing and taps used at the same time. We have checked and there is water. This will be kept under review.

Complaints about condition of men's toilets particularly the one nearest HE turnstiles which were closed at half time

It had to be closed due to a blockage to the urinals. At the moment we are discussing upgrades and planning permissions.

PA volume issues in JH stand. Can it be turned down?

We won't be changing it as it has taken a long time for us to reach a point where it is balanced and pleases the majority of fans.

What happened with Putney Bridge station on night of Bristol City game. How can station be left unmanned?

It was due to staff shortages and outside the control of the Club. It will be taken up at the next Safety Advisory Group meeting.

Will discounted drinks be sold in Fulham Pier post match as they were last season?

Yes.

Facilities at MP for FFCW games remain poor. What changes are planned and are we compliant with Tier 4 requirements.

We are compliant.

What is current capacity of Craven Cottage.

Our current licensed number is 28,107. We have installed more wheelchair positions in Riverside Lower for this season.


The following questions relate to catering with comments provided by Sodexo:-

Beer machines / self-serve units

The self-serve units were removed over the summer. The decision was made due to repeated technical failures and low throughput. While they were popular with some supporters, they caused more disruption than benefit. We continue to review technology that can improve speed of service.

HE prosecco availability

There is prosecco on sale in the HE, but currently only at the main bar. We are looking at widening access points to balance demand more evenly.

Stock issues (burgers, pie holders, chocolate)

On this occasion (Manchester United game), the kiosk opposite the HE turnstiles did experience both a temporary shortage of packaging and a sell-through of certain products earlier than expected. We have reviewed ordering and replenishment levels to prevent this happening again.

Bar closure by H4/5 (Manchester United game)

That bar was temporarily closed due to a staffing issue. We recognise this caused inconvenience and are putting steps in place to ensure cover is maintained.

Red wine in the JH stand

The JH kiosks are not the biggest and pouring with measures in those area's is problematic and service slow. We are looking to see if we can get a quick serve option.

Galatasaray Eye Fulham Striker Rodrigo Muniz in Reported €10m Winter Bid
Galatasaray is reportedly preparing a bid of €10 million to sign Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz in the upcoming winter transfer window.

According to Turkish outlet Sabah, the Süper Lig champions have identified the Brazilian forward as a key target to reinforce their attack after failing to secure a replacement for Álvaro Morata last summer.

The Turkish giants, known as Cimbom, are expected to approach Fulham soon to initiate talks for the 24-year-old South American attacker.

Galatasaray's need for a new centre-forward has become urgent, exacerbated by a challenging start to their UEFA Champions League campaign.

Muniz has experienced a mixed tenure since joining Fulham from Flamengo in 2021. Although he struggled for consistent playing time last season, where he found himself behind Raúl Jiménez in the pecking order, his status has significantly shifted in the current 2025/26 campaign.

The Brazilian has started the season as Fulham's first-choice striker, contributing one goal and one assist in five Premier League appearances.

However, Muniz has entered the final 12 months of his contract at Craven Cottage, a situation that has put several clubs on high alert. This contract uncertainty has been a major factor in Galatasaray's decision to pursue a winter move.

While the Turkish club is hopeful of securing the striker for the reported €10 million fee, it remains unclear whether Fulham will sanction his departure.

Recent reports out of West London suggest the Cottagers are keen to secure Muniz's long-term future, which could present a significant challenge to Galatasaray's transfer plans.
