Fulham have reportedly reached an agreement to re-sign winger Willian less than a year after he departed Craven Cottage.
Willian previously spent two years with the Cottagers after joining the West London club in September 2022 following his departure from Corinthian.
The Brazilian briefly left the club at the end of his initial deal, before he signed another one-year contract to extend his stay until the end of the 2023-24 season.
The experienced attacker registered 10 goals and provided seven assists in 67 competitive appearances for the West London club.

Willian on verge of Fulham return
Willian bid farewell at the end of last season, before he joined Greek giants Olympiacos on a free transfer in September.
However, he made just 11 competitive appearances for Olympiacos, before his one-year deal was cut short at the end of December.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Fulham are on the verge of bringing the former Chelsea man back to Craven Cottage on a free transfer.
The Cottagers have 'reached a verbal agreement' to re-sign the 36-year-old, with the move getting Marco Silva's seal of approval.

When will Willian be announced?
However, Fulham supporters waiting for Willian's announcement will be left disappointed, with the player not expected to be unveiled before the transfer deadline.
With Willian out of contract, the Cottagers do not have to finalise the deal before the transfer window closes at 11pm.
As a result, journalist Nizaar Kinsella is reporting that Fulham will officially announce the Brazilian's return on Tuesday.
Willian will help bolster Silva's wide options which were recently weakened by the news of Harry Wilson's foot injury.
The winger will also add valuable experience to the club's European qualification bid, having made 317 Premier League appearances across spells with Chelsea, Arsenal and Fulham.
