Fulham are preparing a new contract offer for defender Tosin Adarabioyo, which could see him become one of the highest-paid players at the club.
The central defender’s current contract expires this summer and he has been allowed to talk to foreign clubs since January. He has received a number of inquiries from the likes of AC Milan and Marseille, while Liverpool have also checked on his progress.
But now Fulham are hoping to convince him to stay on a tempting contract.
The 26-year-old, who was open to leaving at the end of the season, has been steady for Marco Silva this season despite the impasse over his future. His performances have put him on the radar of England manager Gareth Southgate. .
Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite and Liverpool’s Joe Gomez were given the nod in the England squad for the upcoming friendlies with Brazil and Belgium on Thursday, but Adarabioyo’s stats compare favorably with other leading English centre-backs despite making just fourteen Premier League appearances this season played matches after an injury.

Earlier this month, Fulham manager Silva praised Adarabioyo’s contribution: ‘In December, when things were very busy, he helped the team to reach a very good level. He is a very important player for us within the football club.
‘He grows. He is a really good player and of course we always expect better things from him, and if he manages to play for the national team (then) even better, because that is always the ambition of a footballer.”
