Sources: Fulham to block Adarabioyo January transfer
Fulham are ready to block a potential January exit for Tosin Adarabioyo, sources have told Football Insider.
Tottenham and Monaco were interested in the summer window and lots more clubs are now considering a move for the 26-year-old.
The Ligue 1 side and other European outfits can approach Adarabioyo in January about a pre-contract agreement – ahead of the expiry of his Fulham deal in June.
A well-placed source has told Football Insider that the Cottagers are insistent they won’t sell the defender next month, even though the winter window could represent the last chance to bring in a fee.
Football Insider revealed on Saturday (23 December) that Adarabioyo has indicated he has no plans to sign a new deal with Fulham.
He is also unlikely to strike a pre-contract agreement as it is believed the ex-Man City star is in no rush to resolve his future.
The 26-year-old could run down his Fulham deal until its conclusion to secure the best possible contract going forward.
Adarabioyo has started each of the last four Premier League games and has made six appearances in total this term.
He has been with the west London outfit since October 2020 after leaving boyhood club Man City.
Fulham moved to sign Ajax star Calvin Bassey for big money in the most recent summer window to bolster their centre-back options.
Marco Silva also has Issa Diop and Tim Ream to call on at the heart of his defence.
