TOSIN ADARABIOYO has told Fulham he wants to leave at the end of the season as a free agent.
The Cottagers have offered the centre-back, 26, a new deal with his current terms due to expire in the summer.
Adarabioyo has told Fulham he plans to leave the clubRex
But Tosin, who attracted interest from Tottenham and Monaco during the last transfer window, is expected to snub it as he wishes to move on for nothing when the campaign ends.
At present, Fulham still expect the Manchester City academy product to stay in January despite there only being months remaining on his deal.
Tosin will be able to agree a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs from the start of next month.
Manager Marco Silva described the centre-back as “special” following his side’s penalty shootout win over Everton in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday night.
Tosin struck the winning penalty and his Portuguese boss added: “He is a key player for us. He is one of the leaders in our dressing room.”
Silva is believed to have not given up hope that Tosin will have a change of heart before the season ends.
Tosin has racked up 113 appearances for Fulham since joining from Manchester City in 2020, experiencing both promotion and relegation to and from the Premier League in that period.
Spurs have made signing a new centre-back their top transfer priority in January.
