Fulham have opened talks with Benfica for Brazilian defender Morato and are close to agreeing a new contract for full-back Antonee Robinson.

Morato endured a mixed season at the Portuguese giants in 2022-23, restricted to just nine league appearances.

Having started the first four games and kept three clean sheets, a sprained ankle put him on the sidelines, not playing in the top-flight until after the new year, and then only playing twice in two months.

Morato joined Benfica four years ago from Brazilian giants Sao Paulo, and has since gone on to play 50 times for the senior team, scoring twice.
