Fabrizio Romano has confirmed Willian has agreed personal terms with Saudi Arabian side Al Shabab despite having only just returned to Fulham.

If there was an avenue in which Fulham fans saw Willian leaving the club this summer, this wasn’t it. Last summer, when the winger agreed to join the club, he did so on an initial year-long deal.

As such, when he rejected an offer from the Cottagers this summer after that deal was up, and Nottingham Forest came calling, nobody involved with the club would have had many qualms with him moving, given he was a free agent.

However, on July 17, Fulham announced that Willian had agreed to rejoin the club, penning a new deal which would see him remain for one more year.

With that confirmation, the prospect of him leaving seemed to have vanished. Since then, though, the Brazilian emerged as a target of Saudi side Al Shabab’s.

Transfer insider Romano has confirmed that Willian has now shockingly agreed personal terms with the club, and his contract has been prepared.

In what’ll be a huge kick in the teeth for the Cottagers, the winger has informed them of his ‘intention to leave’ despite having penned a new deal just over two weeks ago.

Romano states it is ‘up to the clubs’ to take the matter further. Fulham could well force Willian to honour the terms of the contract he only just signed.
