Fulham are reportedly in discussions to secure the services of Carlos Mane on a season-long loan.
According to reports from O Jogo, Championship side Fulham are currently in negotiations to sign Sporting Lisbon Carlos Mane on a season-long loan deal.
Fulham have made a very good start to their league campaign so far and one of the main reasons for the Cottagers’ early success has arguably been the performances of new arrivals this summer.
Fulham splashed the cash to bring in no less than 10 new players over the close season and the revamped squad certainly has brought about an air of optimism at Craven Cottage during the current campaign.
Despite the influx of players, manager Slavisa Jokanovic is still looking to bring in a few more players to the club before the end of the summer transfer window and now according to reports from O Jogo, it has been claimed that the Serbian boss is eyeing up a swoop for Carlos Mane.
Mane is currently plying his trade at Sporting Lisbon and is very highly rated in Portugal, having already made 100 professional appearances since making his debut back in 2013 as an 18-year-old.
It is clear that Sporting rate Mane very highly but a loan move away has been seen on the cards for the 22-year-old following the arrival of Joel Campbell from Arsenal recently and now Fulham are said to be the main candidates to sign the attacker.
O Jogo claim that Sporting still owe Fulham money from their purchase of Bryan Ruiz a couple of seasons ago and in order to compensate, the Portuguese giants are ready to allow Mane to join the Cottagers on loan without a fee involved.
