Marco Silva will make a decision on his future next week as his Fulham contract approaches expiration. The Portuguese manager has been offered a three-year deal by the club, though uncertainty persists with Benfica reportedly interested in him as a replacement for Jose Mourinho. Silva emphasized he views this as a contractual situation, not an issue.

Since taking charge in 2021 when Fulham competed in the Championship, Silva has established the club in the Premier League, achieving consistent mid-table finishes. The Cottagers currently sit 13th with one match remaining against Newcastle, having failed to win their last three games and damaging their European qualification hopes.

Links to the Chelsea job emerged earlier in the season before Xabi Alonso's appointment, but Silva's immediate focus remains on Fulham's final match. The manager's decision next week carries significant implications for the club's direction, with his record of promotion and stability making him an important figure regardless of the outcome.
