Robinson “refuses to sign a new contract” and has just one year left on his London contract, which could see him leave this summer.
The scenario is not ideal for Silva, who himself has been linked with a departure from Saudi Arabia due to interest.
In addition, centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur as new boss Ange Postecoglou has his eye on defensive reinforcements.
Willian is also said to be ‘unimpressed’ by Fulham’s one-year contract offer and will weigh his options, while Manor Solomon’s future also remains unknown.
The Israeli is said to be ready to decide his future when he returns from a holiday in Ibiza, with Spurs also interested.
It remains to be seen what the future holds for Robinson and his teammates, but with a £35 million price tag on his head, Newcastle and Co. what to do if they want to take the defender seriously.
