Fulham Plans New Contract With Marco Silva Amid Nottingham Forest Interest

Fulham Football Club is eager to extend the contract of head coach Marco Silva, whose current deal, including a release clause around £15 million, expires at the end of the 2025-26 season. Despite no detailed negotiations yet, there is mutual goodwill, and the club’s owner Shahid Khan has expressed that Silva is integral to Fulham's long-term plans. Silva, who has transformed Fulham into a Premier League competitor since joining in 2021, acknowledged interest from other clubs such as Nottingham Forest but emphasized his focus remains on Fulham and the team's performance. The club aims to retain Silva, who has publicly voiced concerns about transfer market inactivity, while Silva himself remains open to options but is committed to not letting contract talks disrupt the season. Nottingham Forest is moving forward with appointing Sean Dyche as their new manager, ending their pursuit of Silva. Fulham currently sit 14th in the Premier League standings after a challenging run of results, with Silva confident that contract discussions will happen at the appropriate time without impacting the team’s focus.
