Tosin Adarabioyo is still ‘expected to leave Fulham in the summer’ despite the club tabling another contract offer, according to the Athletic.
The 26 year-old centre back was close to joining Monaco at the start of the season but the French side had two bids – the last of which was worth £8.5m – rejected. He recently returned to first-team action having undergone groin surgery and has forged an encouraging partnership with new signing Calvin Bassey at the heart of Marco Silva’s defence, scoring the winning penalty in Tuesday night’s League Cup quarter-final win at Everton.
The defender was disappointed to lose his place to Issa Diop last season and will explore his options ahead of leaving Craven Cottage at the end of this campaign, when his current contract expires. Silva has spoken publicly about his desire to keep the ball-playing centre back, who played 113 games for the Whites since signing from Manchester City for an initial £1.5m in October 2020, at the club but Adarabioyo has attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United.
He will be able to discuss terms with foreign clubs in January as he enters the final six months of his existing deal.
Hugely disappointing, so hope Marco can weave his magic withTosin.
I would have liked him to stay but if he wants to go then we have to bring in a suitable replacement in this transfer window
Fine a centre back next monrh and sell him before the transfer deadnline.The club simply should not let him leave for free this Summer .It does not make sense !!!
He should stay, his game needs to develop a lot more to be able to command a starting place at a top 6 club. If on the other hand he fancies the Casinos and life on the riviera, then Monaco would be hard to resist. Would have loved him to stay, Tosin has the potential for club captain.
If a player wants to leave then he will. Great pity because he has improved beyond where he was at the start of his time at the Cottage, however, alternatives have to be sourced and pursued, not leave it until the last minute. One should always work to the worse case scenario.
Baljit, quite frankly he can sign a pre-contract with a european club (probably monaco) in 10 days, so he’ll most likely be leaving for free anyway
