As the Brazilian media continues to share updates on Fulham target Willian, it seems he’s really leaving his club Corinthians.
Journalist André Hernan reports that following the Timão’s elimination from the Copa Libertadores, the winger is about to rescind his contract and return to Europe.
Despite claims regarding an unsatisfaction with manager Vitor Pereira, the story claims Willian’s only reason to leave is the lack of security in Brazil.
He’s been getting threats from Corinthians fans, and not only do his daughters no longer feel safe going to the stadium, his wife also had to go through surgery due to stress issues.
Now even though many outlets insists Fulham are in talks to sign the 34-year-old, Hernan claims that the player doesn’t have ongoing negotiations with any club for now.
He does, however, mention Marco Silva’s side, but says there are still no discussions.
The good news for the Craven Cottage side is that Willian is being released instead of sold, so he can return to London as a free agent and should have few costs other than a wage, agent fee and signing on fee.
With the end of his contract about to happen, then Fulham should soon have open doors to start talks for the signing.
