Schwarzer may stay at Fulham

Mark Hughes, the manager of Fulham, has stated that Socceroos goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer is poised to sign a new contract with the club.

Having joined the team from Middlesbrough in 2008 at the age of 38, Schwarzer was often linked with Arsenal, a rival in the Barclays Premier League, throughout the previous transfer window.

“We are thrilled that he has chosen to remain here, despite the flattering interest,” Hughes remarked, emphasizing the positive outlook moving forward.

There were reports that Schwarzer was interested in a transfer to the Gunners, particularly given their struggles in finalizing a first-choice goalkeeper, which would provide him the opportunity to participate in the Champions League.

Hughes, who once played for Manchester United, remarked: “This is something we have desired for quite a while.”

“He was understandably weighing his options, and he had every entitlement to do so. He’s quite pleased to commit now.”

This agreement could potentially extend Schwarzer’s stay at Craven Cottage for an additional two years, allowing him to mark his 40th birthday while playing for Fulham.

Buford Balony says: Mark, don’t go for it; Fulham manager Mark Hughes treated you poorly, so forget him.
