Fulham is reportedly eyeing Thiago Pitarch, an 18-year-old midfielder from Real Madrid, as its next transfer target. This comes after the club recently signed Gonzalo García and César Palacios from the Spanish giants. According to a report from Marca, Fulham will continue to look to Valdebebas for young talent, with Pitarch being their chosen target. Talks between the two clubs are said to be advancing slowly, but Fulham is confident of ultimately striking a deal due to Pitarch's full willingness to join the London-based club. Pitarch made his first-team breakthrough in Spain's capital under Álvaro Arbeloa's watch last season, racking up 16 appearances between La Liga and the Champions League. With Fulham currently sitting 12th in the Premier League table, 26 points behind leaders Arsenal, the club is looking to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season. The Cottagers' next fixture is against Nottingham Forest at home on February 10, 2027. League standing (final 2025 table -- new season not yet under way): 12th in Premier League, 44 pts, 13W-5D-14L from 32 games, recent form LWDLW. Goals this season: 43 scored, 46 conceded (-3 goal difference).
