Silva Delays Fulham Contract Call as Muniz Ruled Out Until Mid-February

Silva wants clarity on January backing to navigate a striker shortage.

Overview

  • Fulham have offered Marco Silva a three-year extension after talks during the international break, with the manager taking time to decide.
  • Silva confirmed Rodrigo Muniz underwent hamstring surgery and is targeting a return in the middle of February.
  • With Muniz sidelined, Raul Jimenez is the only senior fit striker; Silva highlighted under‑21s and winger options and declined to label a new striker a necessity.
  • A football finance expert said Fulham can spend in January but not in large sums, with decisions guided by securing Premier League safety.
  • Reporting points to tensions between Silva and the hierarchy and links to Brendan Rodgers as a possible successor, while Fulham sit 15th, a point above the relegation zone.
