Willian confirms stance on future as Fulham look to keep winger | OneFootball

Fulham winger Willian admits he has not yet decided on his future.

The vastly experienced 35-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season but remains an important figure under Marco Silva, having started 19 of Fulham’s 29 Premier League games so far.

Willian was close to leaving the club last summer amid interest from both Nottingham Forest and clubs in Saudi Arabia but ultimately signed a new one-year deal.

The former Brazil international has revealed the club want him to stay but insists no decision will be made on his future before the end of the season.

“Fulham have already signalled that they want me to stay,” he told Brazilian outlet Trivela.

“They want me to stay, to renew my contract. But together with my agent, we’ve said that we’ll only resolve this at the end of the season.

“I think the best way to do it at the moment is to tell them to wait, because I also have to decide if it’s going to be here or if I’m going somewhere else, so I told them to wait a bit.”

Silva has previously confirmed Fulham are in talks with Tosin Adarabioyo, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Kenny Tete over new contracts.

Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan has admitted the club will “have to consider” selling star midfielder Joao Palhinha should the right offer emerge.

Bayern Munich came close to signing the Portugal international last summer and he has since signed a new contract, although speculation in regard to his future has continued.

Speaking to talkSPORT last month, Khan said: “If an offer came along and it made sense for everyone, I think that's something you have to consider with every player at the right time.
