Overview
- Shahid Khan is leading negotiations this week with Silva’s representatives, with a detailed new offer prepared to extend a deal that ends next summer.
- Club figures are assessing Silva’s position after six defeats in 11 league matches left Fulham one point above the relegation zone following a 2-0 loss at Everton.
- Silva has so far declined to sign new terms and his current contract includes a reported £15m release clause.
- The manager has publicly criticised a modest summer window, with Brazilian winger Kevin the only major signing and squad depth repeatedly questioned.
- Public backing from ownership persists even as multiple reports suggest the next fixtures against Sunderland, Tottenham and Manchester City could shape the outcome.
