According to the source, the Cottagers plan to extend the agreement with Willian and thus ward off the interest of clubs from Saudi Arabia. Under the new contract, the Brazilian will receive 58 thousand euros per week.

Earlier, Dacha's head coach Marcos Silva said that extending Willian's contract would be a priority for Fulham this summer.

It should be added that Willian's current deal with Fulham expires at the end of June.
