Reported Fulham target Rodrigo Moreno is set to quit Leeds United this summer following their relegation, sources have told Football Insider.

The Cottagers have been linked with the 32-year-old, who was the Whites' top scorer in the 2022-23 campaign.

Football Insider revealed on Friday (7 July) that Fulham remain in the market for a new striker as they look set to miss out on Coventry City star Viktor Gyokeres.

However, the west London outfit must first shift current fringe forwards Carlos Vinicius and Rodrigo Muniz.

A well-placed source has told Football Insider there has been "no movement" for the backup duo so far this summer.

It is believed Fulham and a host of other sides across the world are keeping tabs on Leeds star Rodrigo following his relegation.

He would tick a lot of boxes for Marco Silva's side due to his ability to play both as an out-and-out striker and in a number ten role.

However, the Spain international's £100,000-a-week wage could prove a stumbling block in any potential negotiations.

Rodrigo, who came to the Premier League for a reported £27million in 2020, is one of the top earners at Leeds.

He notched 15 goals and two assists across 35 appearances in all competitions last term - his best return in English football.

The former Valencia star is under contract at Elland Road until June 2024.

Fellow Leeds star Wilfried Gnonto is also attracting Premier League interest after an impressive breakout campaign.

Football Insider revealed on Wednesday (5 July) that Everton and Aston Villa are interested in signing the Italy international.
