Fulham ‘want’ player who has rejected club’s renewal offer – Future to be ‘decided this week’

Fulham are looking at Real Betis’ William Carvalho this summer, according to claims from Spain today.

The midfielder made 49 appearances in all competitions last season, managing four goals and five assists in the process. It’s no surprise the Portugal international’s performances for club and country caught the attention of other sides.

AS, in their Tuesday edition, explain that both Fulham and Fenerbahçe ‘want’ the 30-year-old, who has had a good spell with Portugal in the UEFA Nations League this month.

The ex-Sporting man has a year left on his contract with the La Liga side. They made him a renewal offer, but he rejected it. Therefore, Manuel Pellegrini’s side aim to sell the player in the ongoing window.

Due to Carvalho’s age and the time left on his current deal, the newspaper explains that it is unlikely any of his suitors will make a great offer to sign him this summer. 

With both Fulham and Fenerbahçe wanting Carvalho, AS state the midfielder’s future should be ‘decided this week’.

Marco Silva’s side had been edged out of the race last week, only for them now to be dragged back in.
