Exclusive: Fulham to extend a new contract to important player, potentially ending Chelsea star’s transfer…

In an exclusive revelation, it has been disclosed by TEAMtalk that Fulham is on the brink of presenting a fresh contract offer to their standout defender, Tosin Adarabioyo. This impending deal is likely to diminish their interest in acquiring Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea.

Fulham is eager to solidify their plans for the upcoming summer transfer window and aims to address various pending matters before the window opens. With several players approaching the conclusion of their current contracts, the club is prioritizing reaching a resolution with Adarabioyo.

Negotiations are progressing as Fulham has tabled a lucrative offer to the central defender, signaling their commitment to retaining him at Craven Cottage. Sources indicate that the proposed terms are highly appealing to Adarabioyo, instilling growing confidence that he will extend his stay at the club.

Despite considerable interest from multiple clubs across England and Europe, Fulham’s manager, Marco Silva, has been instrumental in persuading Adarabioyo to stay. Silva has emphasized the defender’s importance to the team both privately and publicly, fostering a sense of value and belonging within the player.

Adarabioyo has solidified his position as a vital component of Fulham’s squad since his arrival from Manchester City in 2020. His contributions have been notable, especially this season, where he has made 14 league appearances after recovering from injury in November.

This development has implications for another defender in West London, Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah. Chalobah, a 24-year-old center-back, is among Fulham’s potential targets, but the emergence of a new contract offer to Adarabioyo has halted any immediate move for him.

Nevertheless, Chalobah is receptive to the idea of joining Fulham, facilitated by the positive relationship between the club and his family, particularly his brother Nathaniel, a former Fulham player. Despite featuring sparingly for Chelsea this season due to a hamstring injury, Chalobah remains open to new opportunities.

As negotiations with Adarabioyo progress positively, there is optimism within Fulham that a long-term agreement will be reached soon. However, until the contract is finalized, nothing is certain, but both the club’s board and manager, Marco Silva, are determined to conclude the deal swiftly.
