Fulham pursues Parma defender Mariano Troilo amid transitions

Fulham is targeting Parma centre-back Mariano Troilo as they seek defensive reinforcements. The club is reportedly preparing offers between €15 million and €20 million, although Parma is expected to reject these initial bids as they prefer to keep Troilo for the next season. Fulham’s strategy comes as they navigate a managerial transition following Marco Silva's departure to Benfica. Troilo, 22, has gained Serie A experience and possesses a versatile defensive profile appealing for Premier League needs. Additional interest from Brighton, Brentford, and Leeds United adds competitive pressure to the pursuit. Fulham may need to exceed their initial valuation to secure Troilo's transfer amid the growing interest.
