Arbeloa in Fulham talks to replace Silva

Alvaro Arbeloa held talks with Fulham FC to replace departing Marco Silva. The Premier League club previously approached Arne Slot after his dismissal by Liverpool but were rebuffed.

Arbeloa, who managed Real Madrid, is now Fulham’s first target following the failed approach for Slot. The London club moved quickly after Silva’s exit was confirmed.

The Athletic reports Arbeloa’s discussions with Fulham are underway. No further details on contract terms or timelines have been disclosed.

Fulham FC confirmed Silva’s departure but did not comment on Arbeloa’s candidacy. The club aims to finalize a replacement promptly.
