Fulham rejected a bid for centre back Tosin Adarabioyo from AC Milan in the closing hours of the transfer window, according to the Italian press.

Adarabioyo’s contract at Craven Cottage expires in the summer and Fulham are hoping to convince the 26 year-old to extend it between now and the end of the season. The ball-playing defender was close to joining Monaco and Tottenham Hotspur last summer and attracted significant interest from both AC Milan and Inter Milan last month having returned to the heart of Marco Silva’s defence after recovering from groin surgery.

Gianluca di Marzio told Sky Italia earlier today that the Rossoneri followed up their long-standing interest with a formal offer for the former Manchester City defender but Fulham were quick to turn it down with Marco Silva preferring to keep Adarabioyo in SW6 until the end of this current campaign – even if it ends up costing Fulham cash.
