Journalist Jorge Nicola now shares an update on the Fulham player’s future, and he claims that battle should actually take place this summer.
For starters, the reporter points out that Galatasaray, who currently have Carlos Vinícius on loan, are not expected to try to buy him or extend the loan.
It’s said Fulham know they would lose him for free in case they don’t sell him this summer, so even though they shouldn’t make much money with a transfer, that’s the only option they have.
Palmeiras, Atlético-MG and Bahia are all named as potential destinations for the striker in Brazil. Although São Paulo made some attempts to get him signed, they’re now well served in that position and are not expected to go after him.
To be clear, it’s thought that with interest building, the clubs involved now want to move quickly and sign the player this summer rather than next.

Palmeiras, São Paulo, Bahia and Atlétic-MG are those interested in Carlos Vinícius, who’s currently loaned by Fulham to Gaalatasaray.
The striker joined the Turkish club in February, and so far has two goals and one assist in 12 appearances there.
PL Brasil claims that a loan extension or a permanent move to Galatasaray are actually ‘ruled out’, so Fulham would need to find a new solution for next season.
The Brazilian attention is aimed towards the start of 2025, when the player will be able to sign a pre-contract with any club he wants.
Since those are clubs who do have some money, perhaps Fulham could find a sale by negotiating Carlos Vinícius’ sale this summer, as long as thy don’t make huge requests. That would be a way to avoid losing him for free and give the interested sides the chance to avoid bigger competition is he becomes a free agent.
