Wandsworth-born Deacon, who spent time with Arsenal and Sunderland as a youth, is out of contract in the summer.
However, the Sun reports that Fulham, like both Rotherham and Posh, are prepared to pay a fee to sign the player immediately.
Deacon, who earned caps for England Under-19s, has scored six goals and created as many in 30 National League and FA Cup outings this season.
Fulham allowed Spanish midfielder Jozabed to join Celta Vigo on loan this month and tracking Belgium Under-21 international Ibrahima Cisse, according to La Derniere Heure.

The Cottagers are said to be offering £2.2 million for Cisse, although Deacon is likely to prove a far cheaper alternative.
Would Deacon be a good addition for Fulham/Rotherham/Peterborough?
