Marco Silva’s Fulham are closing in on the signatures of the 27-year-old Leicester City full-back Timothy Castagne.
Fabrizio Romano claims that Fulham is eager to add Timothy Castagne to their team. The Cottagers are getting closer to signing the 27-year-old, who their manager Marco Silva is anxious to have at his disposal.
Castagne worked his way up at KRC Genk before transferring to Atalanta in 2017. Since joining the Italian club, the Belgian international has become stronger and stronger. And Leicester hired him in the summer of 2020 as a result of his outstanding accomplishments.
He has appeared in 112 games overall for the Foxes and has assisted on 13 goals over the years. Even though Leicester had a difficult season last year, the 27-year-old was still able to deliver some strong displays.
He played a total of 42 games and amassed around 3,600 minutes. Even six goals were assisted by the right back. The 27-year-old could leave the club due to their relegation from the English top tier last season, despite the fact that he is an essential member of their first squad and still has two years left on his contract.
The Belgian international hopes to return to the top league despite the Foxes’ involvement in the second tier of football. Castagne has not to appear for them in any of the games thus far, indicating a transfer may be imminent.
In the meanwhile, Fulham is eager to have him join their team. Marco Silva is eager to get the 27-year-old right-back, and they are in desperate need of one. The Belgian is greatly admired by the Fulham manager, who thinks he could do wonders for his team.
Long-term negotiations between the Cottagers and Leicester may soon result in a deal, according to Romano. The transfer may actually happen in the next several days since the last elements are now being discussed.
Fulham has a lot of financial power as a result of the high-profile sale of Aleksandar Mitrovic, and they intend to utilize it wisely before the transfer season closes. If they do manage to capture Castagne, it will undoubtedly strengthen and provide depth to their defense.
