Fulham offered a new one-year contract to winger Willian.
The 34-year-old Brazilian is due to be out of contract at the end of this month. Former Chelsea attacker Willian is reported to be on £50,000 a week and a new deal would be on the same terms.
Willian helped the Cottagers to a tenth-place Premier League finish last season after he returned to London from Brazilian side Corinthians last summer. He scored five goals in league 27 appearances for the club, and also got six assists, convincing manager Marco Silva to try to retain him for another campaign.
After such a successful season, Silva is also in talks over a new contract.
As well as that pair, Fulham want to keep Tosin Adarabioyo and Manor Solomon. Captain Tom Cairney is being linked with a move to relegated Leicester City.
Meanwhile, Fulham are reported to be after Fiorentina defender Igor.
Defender Igor, 25, came on against West Ham United in the Europa Conference League final this month which the Hammers won 2-1 in the last minute.
Igor made 42 appearances last season, with nine starts coming in Europe.
Igor previously played in Austria with clubs including FC Red Bull Salzburg. His agent Marcelo Mascagni recently told Italian media: “I spoke to Fiorentina about Igor’s future and the intention is to leave in the summer. The Viola club is also in agreement. We haven’t received any official offers yet, but we’re looking around.”
Igor could be a replacement for Adarabioyo. The latter impressed last season, making 25 Premier League appearances. He is heading into the final twelve months of his contract and has attracted interest from other clubs.
Fending off interest in their players from clubs with greater financial power is set to be one of Fulham’s main challenges this summer.
Another player who enjoyed an excellent campaign, João Palhinha, has been linked with a move to a host of Premier League sides.
West Ham are reported to be one of them, with their midfielder and captain Declan Rice on the verge of leaving.
The Hammers see Palhinha as being his replacement. West Ham would receive a huge windfall for Rice, and will use part of the £100million transfer fee to get a like-for-like replacement.
Despite playing in a deep midfield role, Palhinha still managed four goals in 40 games in all competitions last season and it will be difficult for Fulham to keep hold of the 27-year-old this summer.
