Fulham bat away loan interest in Carlos Vinicius... with the Cottagers only interested in selling their out-of-favour forward amid Bayer Leverkusen and Valencia links
Carlos Vinicius is a loan target for top clubs in Europe and Brazil but Fulham will only consider offers for a permanent sale and want more than £9million.
Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, Sevilla and Valencia in Spain, Atlético-MG and São Paulo in Brazil are all interested in the 28-year-old Brazilian centre forward who has been little used by Marco Silva this season.
Vinicius, a former Tottenham, Benfica and PSV striker, is ready to leave Craven Cottage for a new challenge but fears the price tag will cost him the chance.

West Ham are braced for an approach from Liverpool to poach highly-rated sporting director Tim Steidten after the January transfer window.
The Premier League leaders are in the market for a new sporting director after Jorg Schmadtke announced he will leave the club at the end of the week. The German is one of five high-profile departures at Anfield, including his close ally Jurgen Klopp and three coaches.
