Fulham man attracting Serie A interest
Africa Foot Claims that Issa Diop's difficult situation at Fulham last season led to suggestions he could change clubs this summer.
The restricted playing time with Fulham had no impact on his place in the national team for the World Cup. Apart from the clash against Haiti, he played every minute of the other three matches.
This has been a turning point for both the market and his future with the Premier League team.
His impressive performances at the World Cup have attracted interest from other clubs, while it also did not go unnoticed at Fulham.
The London club initially considered listening to the proposals but changed their plans and decided to retain him. This led him to reject Como's official view.
Cesc Fabregas' side had identified the 29-year-old as a target to strengthen their defence. However, the Serie A side faced a strong refusal from Fulham, who were unwilling to negotiate the sale of Diop.
The Premier League team consider him a priority for next season, even though they have not yet appointed a new manager. Alvaro Arbeloa is most likely to replace Marco Silva and is the only official missing.
Their stance on Diop would only change if there was an exception proposal, without Africa Foot mentioning any figures.
Renewal may be on the cards
That said, Issa Diop has less than a year left on his contract and his value transfer marketIs €8m.
Fulham will have to offer him a new contract to avoid losing the player for free in 2027.
A renewal could be a logical move, especially if the defender is to remain in London next season.
