- Willian agrees terms with Al-Shabab
- Signed new deal with Fulham on July 17
- Club unwilling to sell
WHAT HAPPENED? It was on July 17 that the Brazilian winger agreed to pen a new deal at Craven Cottage which would keep him at the club until next summer. However, according to The Telegraph, he has been contacted by Saudi Club Al-Shabab with double the package that he is earning in England on offer which has enticed the player to shift to Asia.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: After an impressive last season, where he had five goals and six assists, Fulham are not keen to sell the player and will demand a transfer fee if the 34-year-old is to leave the Premier League side.
AND WHAT'S MORE: The Cottagers are also dealing with interest in other players, including star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has expressed his desire to move to Al-Hilal. Meanwhile, manager Marco Silva was approached by Al-Ahli but decided to turn down the offer and remains committed to Fulham.
