Fulham continues to pursue Morato, increasing their offer to €21 million after previous bids of €17 million. However, Benfica remains firm in their decision to keep the Brazilian defender. Morato is considered the future of the team's defense and has impressed coach Roger Schmidt. The club sees him as a key player alongside António Silva and Otamendi. Fulham's interest in Morato is driven by their need for a replacement for Tosin Adarabioyo, who is being pursued by Tottenham and Monaco. Despite the increased offer, Benfica is not willing to sell Morato unless a truly irresistible proposal is presented. In the meantime, Morato is expected to continue playing a role in Benfica's upcoming matches, including the Super Cup.
