Saudi Club Al Shabab Sets Sights on Fulham’s Willian Despite Recent Contract Renewal
Fulham winger Willian, whose initial deal expired this summer, recently pledged his future to the club by signing a fresh one-year contract. However, his commitment to the team might be short-lived, as Saudi Arabian outfit Al Shabab has expressed a keen interest in acquiring his services.
Despite putting pen to paper on a new deal just weeks ago, the Brazilian star is now the subject of interest from Al Shabab, who are willing to pay him a mouth-watering £200,000 per week after tax. The Saudi Pro League club views Willian as a valuable addition to their squad, and their enticing financial offer could tempt the 34-year-old to consider a move.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Al-Shabab have a ‘concrete interest’ in Willian and have approached him with a formal bid. The Saudi club offered him a one-year contract with an option to renew for another season. The player is now speaking with the club about the proposal in what could prove to be a sensational U-turn. This situation leaves the future of the experienced winger in the balance, and it remains to be seen whether Al Shabab will be successful in their pursuit of the player.
The footballing world will be keeping a close eye on this transfer saga as it unfolds. Will Fulham be able to retain their prized winger, or will Al Shabab’s lucrative offer prove too enticing for Willian to resist? Only time will tell as negotiations and discussions continue in the summer transfer window.
