Fulham rejected an initial official approach from Como for defender Issa Diop because the club was not prepared to enter discussions on the existing terms. The 28-year-old's situation has changed significantly following his impressive performances for Morocco at the 2026 World Cup, and it is reported that these displays have attracted attention from other European clubs. Fulham's position has also altered, as the club now believes his market value has risen and considers keeping him a priority unless an exceptional offer is made.
