New Fulham target

Rico, 28, has been on the books at PSG since 2020 and has mainly been used as a back-up option with the Ligue 1 side.

He has made just 14 appearances in all competitions for the French giants and was shipped out on loan to Real Mallorca last term.

The ‘keeper still has a couple of years left on his contract at the Parc des Princes but his future is up in the air right now amid reported interest from his former club.

Rico spent the 2018/19 campaign on loan at Fulham from Sevilla and made 32 appearances, 29 of which came in the Premier League.

The London club are in the hunt for a new goalkeeper this summer to compete with Marek Rodak and Paulo Gazzaniga and he could fit the bill.
