The Juventus winger Samuel Mbangula is attracting attention across Europe. Reports from Italy confirm Marco Silva’s strong interest. The club wants to add pace and creativity out wide.

Injuries last season weakened Fulham’s wide attacking depth. Both Reiss Nelson and Harry Wilson missed key games. Silva sees Mbangula as the perfect long-term solution.

The 21-year-old Belgian has impressed in Serie A. He scored on debut against Como last August. Mbangula ended the season with four goals, five assists. He can play left wing, second striker, or number ten. His versatility is seen as a major strength.

Juventus left him out of the Club World Cup squad. That omission has cast doubt on his long-term future. New manager Igor Tudor prefers more experienced options and Fulham hope to capitalise on his uncertain status.

Nottingham Forest also tried to sign Mbangula this summer. Their offer included American forward Timothy Weah in exchange. But the young Belgian turned down the Forest proposal. He prefers a move that offers regular top-flight minutes.

Fulham have already opened talks with Juventus officials and are ready to offer 10M£ (11.6M€). They’re confident a deal can be completed quickly. Sources suggest both permanent and loan bids are prepared. A loan deal for Douglas Luiz is also discussed. Luiz may arrive with an option to buy later.

Fulham are building for a more competitive campaign ahead. They aim to add depth before the new season. Silva wants hungry, young players who can develop fast.

Mbangula fits the club’s recruitment strategy perfectly. He is young, versatile, fast, and has technical flair. According to journalist Mirko Nicolino, Fulham are ready to act. The next few weeks could see major transfer movement.

If successful, Mbangula could become Fulham’s breakout signing. Fans await news as negotiations with Juventus continue.
