According to talkSPORT’s chief football reporter Alex Crook, Fulham are making a strong push to retain manager Marco Silva by offering him a lucrative new contract worth £8 million per year. The deal would double his current salary and run for three seasons.
The club is not only offering a significant pay raise but also promising to grant the Portuguese manager greater authority over transfer decisions. The 48-year-old Silva has yet to make a decision on his future and plans to consider his options after the season ends. Chelsea have included him on their shortlist of potential new managers, though Xabi Alonso remains the Blues’ top target.
Additionally, Benfica are monitoring Silva’s situation as they prepare for the possibility of Jose Mourinho returning to Real Madrid.
