Armando Broja deal will see Fulham exit with Turkish transfer window still open

Fulham are in advanced talks with Galatasary over the loan of striker Carlos Vinicius, talkSPORT understands.

Vinicius does not enter Marco Silva's plans after Fulham captured Armando Broja the transfer deadline day.

The 28-year-old signed for the Cottagers on a three-year deal in September 2022, but looks set to make an early exit.

Fulham, who were desperate to sign a striker in the final hours of deadline day, finally managed Chelsea Striker Broja is on loan until the end of the season.

The Albanian has completed his medical examination with the club, but his signing is bad news for Vinicius.

It was surely a relief for Fulham who had failed to capture a number of late targets, including West Ham's Said Benrahma, PSG's Hugo Ektite and Stuttgart's Silas Katompa Mvumpa.

But Broja's arrival means Vinicius drops down the pecking order.

The Brazilian is likely to no longer meet coach Silva's requirements and interest from Galatasaray could prove attractive.

Galatasaray, currently second in the Turkish Super League, rejected a late bid for Rangers left-back Ridvan Yilmaz and are still looking for recruits.

While the UK transfer window concluded on February 1, the Turkish market remains open until February 9, giving them enough time to reach a deal.

It means there could still be movement in and out of the Premier League.

Deals could also be struck elsewhere in Europe, with the Swiss winter transfer market open until February 15.

The market in Croatia closes on the same date, and teams such as Hajduk Split and Dinamo Zagreb often produce young talents who are snapped up by bigger clubs.
