Fulham seeks to negotiate lower fee for Jonah Kusi-Asare

Fulham plans to negotiate a lower transfer fee for Jonah Kusi-Asare as they pursue a permanent signing of the Swedish forward. Kusi-Asare, 18, has not scored in ten appearances for Fulham since joining on loan. The club aims to reduce the reported €12 million buy option from the initial loan agreement with Bayern Munich. Kusi-Asare, who previously joined Bayern from AIK for €3.5 million, has made limited contributions to Bayern's first team but had success with their youth squads, scoring eight goals in 31 appearances. Fulham is preparing a formal offer for the player below the stated buyout figure.
