Fulham is allegedly planning to resume contract negotiations with defender Tosin Adarabioyo. The center-back previously declined a new deal, hinting at a possible departure during the summer transfer window. Monaco expressed interest in Adarabioyo, submitting an £8.5 million bid that Fulham rejected. Tottenham was also rumored to be interested, but the defender’s departure in the summer did not come to fruition.
Despite remaining at Craven Cottage, Adarabioyo’s long-term future is far from certain due to his contract situation.
With his current deal set to expire in June 2024, Adarabioyo will be allowed to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.
As it stands, the defender will also be able to speak to foreign clubs from January about signing a pre-contract agreement.
However, according to the Evening Standard, Adarabioyo has made a U-turn on his Fulham future and is now open to extending his stay.
Adarabioyo is seemingly keen to follow in the footsteps of his manager Marco Silva, who recently extended his contract until June 2026.
The report claims that Fulham are also willing to revisit negotiations over a new contract, opening the door for Adarabioyo to remain with the club.
Adarabioyo has spent the last three years with the Cottagers after joining from Manchester City, where he rose through the youth ranks.
During his time with the West London club, he has featured in 108 competitive games and chipped in with three goals.
He has been restricted to just one appearance this term as he continues to work his way back to full fitness following groin surgery.
Fulham, who occupy 14th place in the Premier League table, will be in action on Sunday when they make the trip to the South coast to face Brighton & Hove Albion.
