Although the January transfer window is still a month away, MLS clubs are reportedly pondering a move for Fulham star Willian next summer.
According to the Daily Mail, the Brazilian superstar may not be able to stay in the Premier League for much longer. Willian would not be leaving Craven Cottage for the first time.
The 35-year-old joined Fulham on a 12-month contract last summer and was on the verge of joining Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest ahead of this season.
This season, Willian’s apparent talent has been a welcome presence on the left wing, establishing a terrific relationship with Antonee Robinson. The American full-back is having the best season of his Fulham career, and his friendship with Willian is developing.
Willian’s contract expires again next summer, and he might now leave Fulham for the MLS.
After becoming the first Brazilian to reach 300 appearances in England, the club must begin planning for his departure. A transfer to the United States could be the ideal way to cap off an incredible career. If he can do it after guiding the Whites to another great Premier League finish and possibly a cup run, all the better.
Willian already drawing attention from MLS
Several MLS teams are reportedly “monitoring his situation,” while Saudi Arabian sides are reportedly also interested, according to a Daily Mail article. Even after agreeing to his most recent Fulham contract, the “top class” Brazilian might have followed Aleksandar Mitrovic to the Middle East this summer.
Willian won’t be leaving in January since the team will still need to address more serious problems in the squad the following month. Even after his brace against Nottingham Forest, Fulham ought to be attempting to get a striker.
As Andre, a Brazilian international, may be traveling from Fluminense to Craven Cottage, talks on Joao Palhinha’s future are still ongoing. Willian leaving Fulham to sign with an MLS franchise would be a respectable way to end a storied career.
Although the match against West Ham today is crucial, supporters have already begun to focus on the Carabao Cup quarterfinal trip to Everton, where Marco Silva’s team hopes to advance to the competition’s semifinals for the first time.
Since 1971, Fulham hasn’t played in a cup final at Wembley, so if players like Willian can keep up their current strong play, it would be a trip that many people can cross off their bucket list.
