Fulham paid around £8 million to sign the Portuguese in 2017.
A trio of European clubs have made contact with Fulham about signing Rui Fonte, according to Sky Sports’ live blog (Friday, August 17th, 14:29).
The broadcaster claims Olympiacos have made an offer to loan the Fulham forward, who is said to have attracted enquiries from Leganes and Bordeaux.
The Daily Mirror reported earlier this week that the London side were ready to offer Fonte to clubs on the continent, after the Engish transfer deadline passed.
The Portuguese cost Fulham £8 million in 2017, but only scored three goals and made another two in 25 Championship appearances last season.
And after a productive summer for the newly promoted Cottagers, who added Andre Schurrle and Luciano Vietto to last season’s attack, Fonte is reportedly free to leave.
However, it remains to be seen how much of their initial outlay Fulham are looking to recoup for the 28-year-old former Arsenal, Sporting, Benfica and Braga player.
While moves to Greece or Spain are appealing, Fonte could favour a spell in French football, after his brother Jose’s recent transfer to Lille.
The older Fonte signed for Les Dogues on a free transfer, less than six months after he was sold by West Ham United for £5 million.
