WILLIAN has been offered another one year deal by Fulham after impressing last season.
The 35-year old is out of contract but boss Marco Silva wants the veteran Brazilian to stay on as the club establishes itself back in the Premier League.
The former Chelsea and Arsenal winger has played a key role at Craven Cottage since Fulham won the Championship title in 2022.
He signed a 12-month deal at the start of last season and has been a revelation under coach Silva.
Fulham finished 13th in the top flight and face a fight to hang onto star midfielder Jaoa Palhinha.

A third bid - of around £38 million - has been lodged by German giants Bayern Munich but is set to be rejected.
The combative midfielder has been on Bayern's wish list for more than a year.
He even travelled to Germany for a medical on transfer deadline day last September, only for the move to collapse.
Last month, Silva claimed Palhinha will remain in West London for the start of next season.
He said: "He’s been a key player for us.

"He was a player I really pushed to convince him to come to our football club.
"Last season he made a huge impact. This season, even after the situation in August and with all that noise, he was able to turn it around.
"Of course, he is a key player for us. He is going to play in the last game [at Luton on Sunday]. Let’s hope he has a good [Euro 2024] tournament.
"Next season he is going to be here."
