Fulham have failed with a bid for Brescia midfielder Ismail H'Maidat.
TMW says Championship club Fulham tabled a €600,000 bid for the Belgian, but it fell short of Brescia's valuation.
Brescia are expected to sell before next week's transfer deadline, with the Serie B club struggling financially.
Fulham are expected to return with an improved bid in the coming days.
H'Maidat had trials with Arsenal two years ago and has also been linked with West Ham United this season.
