Fulham have reportedly failed to agreed to a deal for Diego Rolan.
According to reports from The Northern Echo, Fulham are yet to agree a deal for Diego Rolan.
Last week, reports emerged that Fulham were poised to sign the Bordeaux striker, after agreeing a fee of £8.8 million.
The 24-year-old scored ten goals last season in 31 games for Bordeaux, and played a key role in helping his side finish sixth in Ligue 1.

The Uruguayan international was in London earlier this week to hold talks with Fulham, but he returned to France without a deal.
This has alerted Newcastle United to hijack a deal for the striker, who has scored 33 goals during his time in Ligue 1.
Rafael Benitez is reportedly determined to make at least four more signings, and Rolan has come on to his radar.
Newcastle could come up with a late offer and the lure of top flight football which could prompt the striker to move to Tyneside. Furthermore, Newcastle will be able to offer higher wages to the player.
Rolan only has one more year on his current deal at Bordeaux, and it remains to be seen whether Newcastle step up their interest with a concrete offer.
