Fulham Initiates Contract Talks with Calvin Bassey

Fulham is moving towards discussions with Super Eagles defender Calvin Bassey over a new long-term contract, despite interest from Inter Milan. Bassey joined Fulham from Ajax in July 2023 on a four-year deal and has played 105 matches, scoring four goals and providing one assist.

His current contract expires in the summer of 2027, with an option for Fulham to extend it to 2028. The club is not in a rush to negotiate due to this clause but aims to reward Bassey for his contributions.

He won the club’s Player of The Season award in the 2024/25 campaign and is a regular under head coach Álvaro Arbeloa. Bassey is reportedly happy at Fulham and open to extending his contract if terms are favorable.

The club values continuity, especially after a poor start to the season, making it crucial to retain key players like Bassey.
