According to reports, Fulham winger, Willian, is looking for a new club within the Premier League following a dispute over his wage demands at Craven Cottage.
The former Chelsea star will reportedly leave Fulham this season after just one season at Craven Cottage and will look to stay in the Premier League.
Willian first caught the eye during his time in Chelsea, where he contributed to 125 goals in 339 matches and won the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, Europa League and two Premier League titles.
The Brazilian then moved to Arsenal, where he was far less influential and eventually returned to his home nation, playing for Corinthians during the 2021-22 campaign.
On his return to the Premier League, Willian made 30 appearances for Fulham and the 34-year-old has proved that he can still play at the top-level – scoring five goals and contributing with six assists.
Wage demands are said to be the reason behind Willian’s departure, with Fulham offering the Brazilian an extra year this week. However, after a ‘disappointing’ offer, the former Shakhtar Donetsk has reportedly been in talks for a new venture next season.

The Cottagers will be desperately looking for replacements, especially as Manor Solomon returns to Shakhtar Donetsk on loan and has also attracted interest from Spurs.
Scoring five goals in 24 appearances, Solomon showed glimpses of the talent he possesses and even scored in four consecutive matches between February-March.
Manager, Marco Silva has also been linked with a move away from Fulham, as a switch to Saudi Arabia is reportedly on the cards. However, the side from west London are confident in keeping the Portuguese coach.
Fulham will be hoping to resolve these issues in the coming weeks, so they are fully prepared for their opening league fixture. Silva’s side will travel to Goodison Park in a difficult encounter against Sean Dyche’s Everton.
