Willian is set to leave Fulham after just one season at Craven Cottage following his rejection of the club's contract extension, according to reports.
The Brazilian winger joined the Premier League side in a suprising move at the start of last season, after his plan to end his career at his boyhood club Corinthians faltered and saw him end his contract early by mutual consent.
The 33-year-old had a dazzling return to English football, following his previous spells at Chelsea, and Arsenal.
Across 30 appearances in all competions, Willian scored five times and registered another six assists as a sharpened prong of head coach Marco Silva's multi-faceted attack.
The midfielder's contributions helped Fulham achieve a sturdy 10th place finish at the end of the 2022-23 campaign, just one point short of matching their record top-flight points tally.
But as per the Evening Standard, the player's return to west London is set to come to a premature end.
Willian's current one-year deal is set to expire tonight, but despite a willingness to prolong his spell at Craven Cottage, he is thought to have deemed the terms offered by the club to be unsatisfactory.
Silva is thought to have included Willian in his plans for next season, and the Portuguese manager will now be left looking for alternatives.
For his part, Willian is reportedly keen to stay in the Premier League, and will be seeking offers from Fulham's rivals during the summer window.
The player's departure is unlikely to be the only change to Fulham's attack as they prepare for the outgoings and incomings of the market.
The club have slapped a whopping £90million price tag on talented midfielder Joao Palhinha, who arrived in west London with Willian at the start of last season, and may also entertain offers for Antonee Robinson, who they value at £35m.
In the other direction, Fulham are believed to be interested in Robinson's USMNT team-mate Brenden Aaronson, who went down to the Championship at the end of last season with relegated Leeds, and Sevilla's Lucas Ocampos.
A major question mark remains however over the future of Silva himself, after the manager was courted by Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal.
Silva has a £6m release clause in his contract that would prove no stumbling block for the Public Investment Fund-backed side, and the coach is thought to be considering the offer despite his unwillingness to leave the Premier League.
Al-Hilal are said to have previously offered Rome coach Jose Mourinho a diamond-studded deal, which came with a £26m-a-season salary would have made him the highest paid manager in the world.
But Mourinho - who is currently the eighth highest-paid boss in football - is believed to have turned the offer down in favour of staying with the Europa League finalists.
