Fulham are confident of agreeing a new contract with their teenage prospect Fabio Carvalho, according to the Athletic’s Peter Rutzler.
The young playmaker has made a terrific start to life in the Championship after impressing when introduced to the first team by Scott Parker following Fulham’s relegation from the top flight. He has scored twice in three games – including a brilliant winner as the Whites extended their unbeaten start to the new season with victory at Millwall last night.
The 18 year-old is into the final year of his current Craven Cottage contract and reportedly turned down Fulham’s first offer of an extension in June, with a number of clubs – including Leeds, West Ham, Norwich and Porto – closely monitoring his availability. But the club are now confident that recent discussions could prove fruitful, with Carvalho’s strong relationship with new head coach Marco Silva thought to be particularly persuasive.
If this is right, what a wonderfull news!!! COYW
If we want any hope of consolidating in the prem hopefully next season, these are are sort of deals that need to get done
It’s easy, give him a sensible contract and make sure he understand what generally happens when talented youth leaves Fulham
I hope this can be done….he’s class and will grace the premier when we get there
It already seems that Silva has the players pulling in the right direction, signing this kid up to a new contract is a must.
Really good news. Pay him what he wants and look to build a team around him. Ideal replacement for Cairney while hopefully he recovers.
Great player keep him at all cost
Good news. Better to stay with FFC and learn the job properly rather than listen to agents who will waste your career. Examples Ryan Sessegnon. Elliot and the bloke who went to Arsenal. Stockpiled loaned out and then sold.
