Leeds United have confirmed the high-profile signing of Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz, with manager Daniel Farke personally overseeing the finalization of the deal. The 23-year-old joins from Fulham after an impressive Premier League campaign that caught the eye of several top clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur.
Muniz was officially unveiled at Elland Road, with club media capturing the moment Farke signed off on the agreement under the “DEAL CONFIRM” banner. Leeds’ offer, believed to be a structured package worth up to £32 million, was enough to convince Fulham, despite initial reports of a £50m valuation.
This acquisition is a major statement from the Whites, who are preparing for a Premier League return with serious intent. Muniz brings strength, aerial dominance, and a proven scoring record—qualities Daniel Farke believes are crucial to his attacking blueprint for the 2025/26 campaign.
Farke praised Muniz’s hunger and profile, stating: “He’s a powerful forward with Premier League experience, and we believe he’s the perfect fit for our system.” The deal marks a significant step in Leeds’ summer rebuild, with more arrivals expected as the club targets top-flight stability.
Rodrigo Muniz is expected to join the squad immediately for preseason preparations.
