Fulham have no intention to accept any bids for Willian this is despite the forward being linked with a move away this summer.
That’s according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims that the West London side have no intention to sell the Brazilian despite the former Chelsea player being linked with a move to Al-Shabab.
Al-Shabab, the Saudi Arabian side, are still pushing to sign Willian due to reaching an agreement on personal terms, according to Romano.
Those personal terms, according to The Athletic, are said to be around £200,000 a week, doubling his current wages at the Cottagers.
Marco Silva got the best out of Willian last season as the winger scored five goals and provided five assists, his best return in goals and assists since the 2018-2019 season when he was at Chelsea under Maurizio Sarri.
Fulham are desperate to keep Willian
Romano has made it clear that the Premier League side are desperate to hold on to the 34-year-old winger but it seems the Brazilian has been seduced by the offer from the Saudi side.
The season kicks off in just eight days time and this is certainly not the distraction that Marco Silva, who has also been courted by the Saudi Pro League this summer, needs as he aims to push Fulham on and keep them fighting as a top ten Premier League outfit.
Silva is said to be crucial in this discussion as he loves the former Arsenal winger and the forward only signed his new contract at the club 18 days ago.
After signing the said contract, Willian said: “I’m completely happy. Happy to sign one more year with Fulham. Happy to continue the work that I did last season with all my teammates.”
His future remains up in the air and Silva will certainly be hoping it can be resolved soon.
