Fulham Football Club is yet to reopen contract negotiations with center-back Tosin Adarabioyo, whose current deal is set to expire in just over six months according to the Evening Standard. The 26-year-old Nigerian-English defender faces the possibility of leaving on a free transfer in June if an agreement is not reached.
While talks have not resumed, Tottenham Hotspur continues to monitor Adarabioyo’s situation. However, sources indicate that Tottenham is currently prioritizing the acquisition of a left-footed option during the upcoming January transfer window. This could potentially impact any immediate move for the Fulham defender.
Monaco, who had multiple bids, including one rising to £8.5 million, rejected during the summer, could revive their interest in Adarabioyo. The player’s contract situation makes him eligible to sign a pre-contract with a foreign club starting January, increasing the likelihood of potential suitors making a move.
Adarabioyo, who recently returned to action after undergoing groin surgery in September, is currently focused on rebuilding his fitness. The defender has made two Premier League appearances this season, both as a substitute.
Head coach Marco Silva, who signed a new three-year contract in October, maintains a positive relationship with Adarabioyo. This could provide a platform for future contract discussions as Fulham seeks to secure the services of the talented defender.
In the midst of the contract uncertainty, Fulham is reportedly preparing for significant transfer activity in January. The club’s priority is securing a striker, with players like Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart and Jonas Wind from Wolfsburg under consideration.
As the January transfer window approaches, the situation surrounding Tosin Adarabioyo’s contract remains one to watch, with various clubs keeping a keen eye on developments.
