Confirmed: English-born Nigerian star set to depart Fulham at season’s end

Super Eagles-eligible defender Tosin Adarabioyo is poised to bid farewell to Craven Cottage as his contract with Fulham nears its end, Soccernet.ng reports.

Renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently affirmed that Adarabioyo, born to Nigerian parents, has opted to explore opportunities elsewhere rather than extending his tenure with the club.

Despite Fulham’s efforts to retain the promising defender with a new contract offer, Adarabioyo has opted to depart as a free agent, a decision that has piqued the interest of several clubs.

Manchester United and Tottenham are grappling with defensive setbacks due to injuries, prompting them to prioritize the pursuit of Adarabioyo for the upcoming season.

AC Milan, impressed by Adarabioyo’s standout performances under manager Marco Silva’s tutelage at Fulham, has also entered the race to secure his signature.

Since joining Fulham in 2020 from Manchester City, Adarabioyo has solidified his presence in the team’s defense, showcasing his reliability following successful loan stints at West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers.

Amid speculation surrounding his future, reports from Team Talk suggest that Manchester United, the club he grew up supporting, is actively working to persuade him to ink a pre-contract agreement.

While Adarabioyo’s next destination remains undisclosed, his undeniable talent is sure to attract suitors from deserving clubs eager to secure his services.
