According to multiple media reports, Fulham is negotiating with Arsenal on the transfer of Cedric.
Marco Silva worked with Cedric at Sporting Lisbon in the 2014-15 season, and Fulham believe the Portuguese full-back can add depth and experience to the squad.
In fact, the negotiations between the two sides are still in their infancy. Considering that Fulham has run out of domestic loan quotas, the negotiations may take more time.
Judging from the current situation, the two sides have not yet reached an agreement.
Cedric’s salary was once seen as a stumbling block to Fulham’s transfer, and the two sides are still at odds on financial issues.
In addition, since Arsenal has not yet reinforced the team, Arteta considers that he is still fighting on the third line, and his current attitude towards releasing people is still very ambiguous.
Fulham are in the market for a right-back this month, with defender Kevin Mbabu likely to leave.
