Willian arrived at Fulham on a free transfer last summer and signed a one-year deal with the London club.
With a contract expiring at the end of this season, the Premier League side have ‘decided to move forward’ with the winger’s renewal.
That’s according to UOL, who state Fulham are already discussing internally the possibility to keep the 34-year-old for longer.
Marco Silva’s side had initially thought of extending the Brazilian’s contract until 2024. Their plans seem to have changed as it’s claimed Fulham are ‘considering offering’ Willian a deal for two or more seasons, which feels a stretch.
The former Chelsea man has been one of the key figures under Silva this season, scoring three goals and registering four assists from 22 league games. The manager is the ‘greatest enthusiast’ when it comes to the South American’s continuity at Fulham.
Luckily for the English club, Willian also ‘wants to continue’ with them. UOL add the player has asked his agent to ‘sit down and negotiate’ a new deal with Fulham, but only at the end of May.
With both parties wanting to extend the contract, an agreement could be found after next month’s meeting.
