Fulham believe they will complete a renewal agreement with Willian ‘soon’ after they ‘advanced in the negotiations’ with the Brazilian.
That’s according to UOL, who say Fulham have improved the proposal to the player for him to remain at Craven Cottage for another season.
They explain that negotiations between the club and Willian to extend his deal, which expired at the end of last season, began weeks ago but have become complicated after Nottingham Forest showed an interest in him.
Willian was a key player for Fulham last season after returning to England from an unsuccessful spell at Corinthians, bagging five goals and five assists in 30 games.
He was one of the ‘main highlights’ of the campaign and Fulham have been keen to extend his stay into a second season.
However, several reports have made it clear that Willian was unhappy with the deal offered to him, having accepted a lower offer last year to return to England and then expected that to be improved upon this year.
It has led to suggestions he could move elsewhere in the Premier League, with Nottingham Forest apparently keen, but UOL say Fulham are calm over keeping their man and getting him signed to a new deal.
According to their information, the London club have advanced in the conversations with the player and are confident he will sign with them soon.
