Marco Silva has confirmed he has not yet decided whether to extend his stay at Fulham beyond this season. The Portuguese manager's current deal expires at the end of June, and the club has reportedly offered a three-year contract to retain him. Silva emphasized that no decision can be communicated until he makes up his mind.

Fulham currently sit 13th in the Premier League with one final match against Newcastle remaining. Recent form has dented their European qualification hopes, with three games without victory. Silva previously steered the club from the Championship to promotion in his first season, followed by mid-table finishes of 10th, 13th and 11th places.

Winger Harry Wilson, who has contributed 10 league goals this campaign, also faces an uncertain future with his contract expiring this summer. Silva acknowledged the need for careful analysis during this pivotal period, stating there are 'many things to analyse' before reaching any conclusions about his own future at Craven Cottage.

The manager's ambitions reportedly extend beyond Fulham, with previous links to the Chelsea vacancy before Xabi Alonso's appointment. Despite interest from Saudi clubs, Silva has shown loyalty to the west London side while maintaining aspirations to manage at the highest level.
