The Fulham board wants the Portuguese, who had grievances over the club's summer transfer window, to extend his four-year stay at Craven Cottage.

The 48-year-old accused the board of being "passive" on the eve of the Premier League season, and they finished the transfer window having spent about £40m on five players.

The Cottagers have endured a difficult start to the campaign and sit one point above the relegation zone in 15th place.

The former Everton and Watford boss, who signed a three-year contract in 2023, earned promotion with Fulham in 2022 and has kept the club in the top flight since then.

He has been linked in the past with vacancies at Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.

The reasons for Fulham’s poor start to the season

Silva did not get the central midfielder he wanted in the summer. And when you look at some of the opponents we have faced, the results are perhaps not that surprising. 

All that being said, this is a side that needs to start picking up points quickly. Maybe, Silva signing a new contract will settle things down and allow the players to settle down and play with a bit more freedom.

Josh T added in a recent article for London Super News: “Injuries have also certainly taken a toll. Rodrigo Muniz’s return was cut short when he limped off less than 20 minutes after coming on. Whatever the issue, the solution must come quickly.
