Fulham nears agreement to sign midfielder Manuel Angel from Real Madrid

Fulham is finalizing a deal to sign Manuel Angel from Real Madrid’s academy for a reported fee of €4 million. The transfer grants the Premier League club 50% of the player's rights, while Real Madrid retains the remaining half. Real Madrid also holds a right of first refusal for any future transfer involving the midfielder. Angel has already completed medical examinations in London following his departure from the Spanish side. This acquisition marks the third arrival from La Fabrica to Fulham this summer, following the additions of Gonzalo Garcia and Cesar Palacios. The move comes under the guidance of former Real Madrid coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who now manages the London club.
