February 3rd 2025.
In December of last year, Willian decided to part ways with Olympiakos after a brief stint in Greece. Now, the seasoned playmaker is in talks to make a comeback to Fulham, only six months after leaving the team. Willian, who is now 36 years old, has had a long and successful career in the Premier League, having played for Chelsea, Arsenal, and of course, Fulham. During his time with the Blues, he was able to secure two Premier League titles, as well as the FA Cup and Europa League trophies.
After his time at Arsenal, which was not the most memorable, Willian went on to join Fulham where he made a positive impact before leaving for Olympiakos last summer. Unfortunately, his time in Greece did not go as planned, and he ended up leaving the club in December after only playing in 11 matches. However, this has not discouraged one of his former clubs, as Sky Sports has reported that talks are currently underway to bring him back to Craven Cottage. As he is a free agent, there is no pressure to complete the deal before the transfer deadline on Monday night, but it seems that the move is close to being finalized.
During his first spell at Fulham, Willian made 67 appearances for the team. Now, at the age of 37 (turning 37 in August), he brings with him a wealth of experience from playing across Europe, in his home country of Brazil, and at the international level. He has represented Brazil 70 times, and was a part of the team that won the Copa America in 2019. In addition to his time in the Premier League, he has also played for Corinthians, Shakhtar Donetsk, Anzhi Makhachkala, and Corinthians.
Before joining Chelsea in 2013, Willian had a successful career in Ukraine, winning the Ukrainian Premier League four times with Shakhtar. Now, as talks continue for his return to Fulham, everyone is reminded of his achievements, including his two Premier League titles with Chelsea. This transfer window has been relatively quiet for Fulham, with no major arrivals or departures from the team, but they have managed to secure two wins in their last three games, including a 2-1 victory against Newcastle on Saturday, which has propelled them back up to ninth place in the Premier League table.
